If (QH/t)eng = 115 W, (QC/t)eng = 104 W, and (QH/t)ref = 165 W then:
i) What is the thermal efficiency of the engine? η = ? (3sf)
ii) What is the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator? K = ? (3sf)

earning Goal: To understand that a heat engine run backward is a heat pump that can be used as a refrigerator. By now you should be familiar with heat engines--devices, theoretical or actual, designed to convert heat into work. You should understand the following: Heat engines must be cyclical; that is, they must return to their original state some time after having absorbed some heat and done some work). Heat engines cannot convert heat into work without generating some waste...
