Question

An electric generator at a power plant produces energy bypassing super heated steam from the high temperature container reservoir through a pipe connected to a series of fans and then into a low temperature reservoir. As the theme passes across the blades of the fan some of the heat energy of this steam is transferred into the mechanical energy which turn the fence which intern are connected to a generator which intern converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

If the high temperature steam has a temperature of 362.3 K and the low temperature reservoir has a temperature of 134.9 K what is the carnot Efficiency of this process?
