Connecting the statistical and macroscopic approaches to irreversible processes

Nuclear power plant A nuclear power plant operates between a high-temperature heat reservoir at 560 °C and a low temperature stream at 20 °C. (a) Determine the maximum possible efficiency of this thermodynamic engine. (b) Determine the heating rate (J/s) from the high-temperature heat reservoir to the power plant so that it produces 1000 MW of power (work/time).
