A reversible heat engine receives 250 kW of heat from a high-temperature reservoir at 600 K, and produces 140 kW of power. What is the temperature of the low-temperature reservoir?
Given: TH = 600 K; Q?H=250 kW; W?=140 kW
What will be an ideal response?
For a heat engine, n = W?/Q?H = 0.560
As this is a reversible heat engine, n = nmax = 1 – TC/TH = 0.560
Solving for TC = 264 K
