A source of heat at 1000 K transfers 1000 kW of power to a power generation device,

A source of heat at 1000 K transfers 1000 kW of power to a power generation device, while producing 400 kW of useful work. Determine the second law efficiency of the system, if the environment is at 300 K.

The value is \eta _2 = 0.57

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The temperature of the heat source is T_s =  1000 \  K

    The amount of power transferred is  P_s =  1000 \  kW =  1000 *10^{3} \  W

      The work produced is  W = 400 \  kW

       The temperature of the environment T_e  =  300 \  K

Gnerally the Carnot efficiency of the system is mathematically represented as

        \eta_c =  1 -\frac{T_e}{T_s}

=>    \eta_c = 1 -\frac{300}{1000}

=>      \eta_c =  0.7

Generally the first  law efficiency of the system is mathematically represented as

            \eta _1 = \frac{W}{P_s}

=>         \eta _1 = \frac{400}{1000}  

=>         \eta _1 = 0.40

Generally the second  law efficiency of the system is mathematically represented as

                \eta _2 = \frac{\eta_1}{\eta_c}

=>               \eta _2 = \frac{0.4}{0.7}

=>               \eta _2 = 0.57
