What is the maximum efficiency of such a system

Reference no: EM13537582

An electric power plant that would make use of the temperature gradient in the ocean has been proposed. The system is to operate between 20.0°C (surface water temperature) and 5.00°C (water temperature at a depth of about 1 km).

(a) What is the maximum efficiency of such a system?

(b) If the useful power output of the plant is 60.0 MW, how much energy is taken in from the warm reservoir per hour?
