The ideal efficiency of a heat engine.
Answer to Problem 29A
The ideal efficiency of a heat engine driven by ocean temperature differences that has its heat source at 293 K and heat sink at 283 K is found to be
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:
Substitute the values of the variables in the formula and calculate the ideal efficiency.
Express the efficiency of the engine in percentage.
Conclusion:
Thus, the ideal efficiency of a heat engine driven by ocean temperature differences that has its heat source at 293 K and heat sink at 283 K is found to be
