An experimentalist claims that, based on his measurements, a heat engine receives 300 Btu of heat from a source at 900 R, converts 160 Btu of it to work, and rejects the rest as waste heat to a sink at 540 R. Are these measurements reasonable? Why? Draw a sketch showing the direction of work and of heat transfer between the heat engine and the high and low temperature reservoirs. If the heat engine were to operate reversibly between these...
