Thermodynamic Devices: An ideal Carnot engine is operated as a heat pump to heat a room in the winter. The heat pump delivers heat to the room at the rate of 47 kJ per second and maintains the room at a temperature of 293 K when the outside temperature is 237 K. The power requirement to run the heat pump under these operating conditions is closest to
