An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temperature of 322 K. Over the course of one hour, the engine absorbs 1.37 x 105 J from the hot reservoir and exhausts 7.4 x 104 J into the cold reservoir.

1) What is the power output of this engine?

2) What is the maximum (Carnot) efficiency of a heat engine running between these two reservoirs?

3) What is the actual efficiency of this engine?
