An experimental power plant at the natural energy


Solve the all parts of given question:

Question: An experimental power plant at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii generates electricity from the temperature gradient of the ocean. The surface and deep-water temperatures are 27oC and 6oC, respectively.

Part A: What is the maximum theoretical efficiency of this power plant?

Part B: If the power plant is to produce a power of 240kW, at what rate must heat is extracted from the warm water? Assume the maximum theoretical efficiency.

Part C: At what rate must heat be absorbed by the cold water? Assume the maximum theoretical efficiency.

I need help to solve the above question and express your answer using two significant figures.
