A power cycle operates between a lake’s surface water at a temperature of 300 K and water at a depth whose temperature is 285 K. At steady state the cycle develops a power output of 10 kW, while rejecting energy by heat transfer to the lower temperature water at the rate 14,400 kJ/min. Determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the power cycle and (b) the maximum thermal efficiency for any such power cycle. I have no idea on how to...
(Clausius Inequality) A thermodynamic cycle operates at steady state between reservoirs at 1000 K and 500 K.

A hot reservoir with a temperature of 687 K is 0.58 m away from a cold reservoir with a temperature of 358 K. The two reservoirs are insulated from each other except for a rod of brass (k = 109 W/m-K) that has a cross-sectional area of 0.058 m2. The entire system is allowed to reach a steady-state condition. 1) How much energy is transferred by heat between the hot reservoir and the cold reservoir in ten minutes? J Submit...
