iii Check Answer Hint 0% Question 22 of 253 As we drill down into the rocks of Earth's crust, the temperature typically increases by 3.0°C for every 100 m of depth. Oil wells can be drilled to depths of 1740 m. If water is pumped into the shaft of the well, it will be heated by the hot rock at the bottom and the resulting steam can be used as a beat engine. Assume that the surface temperature is 28 °C. Using such a 1740-m well as a heat engine, what is the maximum efficiency ewen possible? If a combination of such wells is to produce a 2.0-MW power plant, how much energy E will it absorb from the interior of Earth) each day? Assignment Score:
