During January, at a location in Alaska winds at-20°C can be observed, However, several meters below ground the temperature remains at 11°C. An inventor claims to have devised a power cycle working between these temperatures having a thermal efficiency of 10%. Investigate this claim. Part A What is the maximum thermal efficiency for these conditions? the tolerance is +/-2% By accessing this Question Assistance, you will learn while you earn points based on the Point Potential Policy set by your instructor

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Here Tmin= -20°c =253k

          Tmax= 11°c =284k

(A) maximum efficiency,

        ∩max= 1 - Tmin/ Tmax

                  =1-253/284 =0.10915

                     =10.915%

therefore his claim is true
