Problem

A device is claimed to transfer 100 J100\,\text{J} of heat per cycle from a reservoir at 250 K250\,\text{K} to another at 350 K350\,\text{K} without any external work input. Show in not more than three sentences how combining this device with a heat engine operating between the same two reservoirs would violate the Kelvin–Planck statement of the Second Law.
