Physics

A heat engine receives an amount of energy Qh= 790kJ by heat transfer from a high temperature thermalreservoir at Th=950 K. Energy is rejected by heattransfer to a lower temperature thermal reservoir at T1=590K. If waste heat in the amount of Q1=160kJ is rejected to the low temperature thermal reservoirduring each cycle.

a) Solve for the maximum theoretical efficiency that an enginein this situation could operate with. ANSWER: 0.379

b) Solve for actual efficiency that the engine is operatingwith.

c) Which of the following best describes the manner in which thecycle is operating...
