A power plant has been proposed that would make use of the temperature gradient in the ocean. The system is to operate between 20.0°C (surface water temperature) and 5.00°C (water temperature at a depth of about 1 km). (a) What is the maximum efficiency of such a system? (b) If the useful power output of the plant is 75.0 MW, how much energy is absorbed per hour? (c) In view of your answer to part (a), do you think such a system is worthwhile (considering that there is no charge for fuel)?
You are working on a summer job at a company that designs non-traditional energy systems. The company is working on a proposed electric power plant that would make use of the temperature gradient in the ocean. The system includes a heat engine that would operate between 20.0°C (surfacewater temperature) and 5.00°C (water temperature at a depth of about 1 km). (a) Your supervisor asks you to determine the maximum efficiency of such a system. (b) In addition, if the electric power output of the plant is 75.0 MW and it operates at the maximum theoretically possible efficiency, you must determine the rate at which energy is taken in from the warm reservoir. (c) From this information, if an electric bill for a typical home shows a use of 950 kWh per month, your supervisor wants to know how many homes can be provided with power from this energy system operating at its maximum efficiency. (d) As energy is drawn from the warm surface water to operate the engine, it is replaced by energy…
4. A typical coal-fired power plant operates with a high-temperature reservoir at Th = 800 K and a low-temperature reservoir at Tc = 300 K.
What is the maximum efficiency allowed by the 2nd law of thermodynamics (the Carnot efficiency) for a heat engine operating between these temperatures? Give your answer as a decimal number, not as a percentage.
(This isn't in section 4.2, so you might want to also take a quick look at equation 4.5 in section 4.5 of the textbook, or at the introductory material in this week's lab write-up.)
