You have been asked to invest in a new thermal energy storage project. The inventors claim that they can economically produce power by connecting a heat sink with a temperature of 60 °C to a thermal storage device with a temperature of 170 °C. They claim they are able to create power at 80% efficiency. Are their claims believable? Why/why not? I A new thermal energy storage project claims that they can economically produce electrical power by connecting a heat sink with a temperature of 30°C to a thermal storage device. They claim they are able to create power at 70% efficiency. What is the minimum temperature that the thermal storage device would need to operate at?
