A heat engine operates between 2 reservoirs at TH and 18oC. The heat engine receives 17,000 kJ/h from the high temperature reservoir, and delivers half of its power output to drive a Carnot heat pump. The Carnot heat pump removes heat from the cold surroundings at 0oC and transfers it to a house which is maintained at 24oC. If the house is losing heat at a rate of 80,000 kJ/h, determine the temperature TH of the heat engine reservoir.
