Step-by-step explanation:

Inventor claims that

Work produce by heat engine W=10 KW

Heat absorb by heat engine Q= 10 KW

As we know that from Kelvin planks statement that ,it states that ,this is impossible to covert all heat into work without rejecting some amount of heat into the surrounding.So by using Kelvin Plank statement we can say that this inventor claim is wrong because this type of engine is not possible.it is impossible heat engine.
