Your company has a heat engine that operates at the theoretical maximum. However that isn’t enough for your boss, the engine currently has an efficiency of 22% using a cold reservoir of -6 degrees C. What temperature in Celsius do you need the hot reservoir to be to increase the engine’s efficiency up 20% from the original?

Converting sunlight to electricity with solar cells has an efficiency of 15%. It's possible to achieve a higher efficiency (though currently at higher cost) by using concentrated sunlight as the hot reservoir of a heat engine. Each dish in the figure concentrates sunlight on one side of a heat engine, producing a hot-reservoir temperature of 510 degrees C. The cold reservoir, ambient air, is approximately 28 degrees C. The actual working efficiency of this device is 30%. What is the...
