consider an electric power plant with a steam temperature of 550C and a cooling water source of 20C. a) what is the maximum possible efficiency of this plant? (Show work) consider an electric power plant with a steam temperature of 550C and a cooling water source of 20C. a) what is the maximum possible efficiency of this plant? (Show work) consider an electric power plant with a steam temperature of 550C and a cooling water source of 20C. a) what is the maximum possible efficiency of this plant? (Show work)Explanation / Answer
temperature of hot reservoir Th = 550 c = 550+273 = 823 K
temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 20c = 20+273 = 293 K
efficiency n = 1 - Tc/Th
n = 1-293/823 = 0.643 <<<------answer
