Suppose a Carnot engine that has an efficiency of 52% and a cold reservoir temperature of 31 degrees Celcius. what must the hot reservoir temperature be, in celcius, for a real heat engine that has an efficiency of 52, which is 70% of the maximum efficiency? Assume cold reservoir is still 31 degrees celcius.
