Consider a heat engine undergoing a power cycle. a. What is the maximum thermal efficiency that an ideal heat engine can achieve if it operates between thermal reservoirs at 1000K and 300K? b. What is the maximum possible power output from the heat engine if operating between the same two temperatures of part (a) and the heat transfer rate in to the cycle is 140 MW?
