A steam turbine operates between hot and cold reservoir temperatures of 538.0 ¢XC and 92.1 ¢XC, respectively. If heat is supplied at a rate of 238.0 MW, what maximum amount of power could the turbine deliver?

Answer 1

powerdelivered=input power*thermal eff

= 238* (inlettemp-outlettemp)/outlettemp

put temps in an absolute scale, Kelvins would be convenient.

Answer 2

ERROR. INlettemp goes in the denominator. A brain freeze.
