Calculate the ideal efficiency of a steam turbine that has a hot reservoir of
The ideal efficiency of a steam turbine.
Answer to Problem 28A
The ideal efficiency of a steam turbine that has a hot reservoir of
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The temperature of the hot reservoir
The temperature of the cold reservoir
Formula used:
The ideal efficiency of a heat engine is given by the expression,
Calculation:
Express the temperatures of the hot reservoir and the sink in Kelvin.
Substitute the values of the variables in the formula and calculate the ideal efficiency.
Express the efficiency of the turbine in percentage.
Conclusion:
Thus, ideal efficiency of a steam turbine that has a hot reservoir of
