Evaluate its maximum theoretical efficiency

Reference no: EM13659539

One of the most efficient engines ever built is a coal-fired steam turbine in the Ohio valley, driving an electric generator as it operates between 430°C and 1870°C.

(a) Evaluate its maximum theoretical efficiency?

(b) Its actual efficiency is 42.0 percent. Compute how much mechanical power does the engine deliver if it absorbs 1.30 105 Joule of energy each sec from the hot reservoir?
