Question

Ammonia is the most important ingredient of most fertilizers. Attached is a diagram of a proposed

ammonia synthesis plant, which could save energy by operating on a ship, located in the ocean at a spot where there

is a large temperature gradient with ocean depth. The electrical power for this plant is generated by a turbine, which

is part of a heat engine. This heat engine used warm ocean water (from near the ocean's surface) as the hot

temperature bath, and cold ocean water (from deep below the surface) as the cold bath.

Chapter #s refer to Engel and Reid, Physical Chemistry, 3rd ed.
