QUESTION 3 A power reactor has pressurized water at 274°C. Steam, produced in the steam generator, is used to drive the turbine-generators. Eventually the steam is condensed to water at 44°C and then heated again to start the cycle over. Calculate the maximum theoretical efficiency for a heat engine operating between these two temperatures.
