A heat engine takes heat from a source with a temperature of 1500 K and leaves it to an environment with a temperature of 320 K. The heat transferred from the hot source to the machine is 700 KJ / sec. The power of the heat machine has been measured as 320 Kw. Since the most natural ambient temperature is 25 ° C, calculate the reversible work that can be per unit time and the irreversibility that occurs per unit time and the second-law obtained efficiency of this heat machine.
