Ocean thermal energy conversion project

Reference no: EM13189864

The Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion project in Hawaii produces electricity from the temperature difference between water near the surface of the ocean (27 degree C) and the 600m deep water at 5 degree C that surrounds the island. Estimate the maximum net work(total work less the work of pumping the water to the surface) that can be obtained from wach kilogram of water brought to the surface, and the overall efficiency of the process.
