Run an engine that will deposit its heat into a block of ice


A friend has a scheme to run an engine that will deposit its heat into a block of ice. The engine has a power output of 8.5 kW and extracts heat from a source at 420 K and rejects heat to a 1000kg block of ice at its melting point. Will the device run for an 8-hour work day? Hint: Calculate the efficiency and then how long the ice will last without replenishment.
