A Carnot heat engine receives 1000 kW of heat from a reservoir at 750 K. Plot the power produced for temperatures of the low-temperature reservoir varying between 300 K and 600 K.

Given: TH = 750 K; Q?H = 1000 kW


As this is a Carnot (reversible) heat engine, n = nmax = 1 – TC/TH, and

W?=nmaxQ?H

For the range of low-temperature reservoir temperatures:
