Identify the reversible power-rate of irreversibility


Solve the following problem:

Q: A heat engine receives heat from a source at 1500 K at a rate of 700 kJ/s and it rejects the waste heat to a medium at 320 K. The measured power output of the heat engine is 320 kW, and the environment temperature is 25°C. Determine

(a) The reversible power,

(b) The rate of irreversibility, and

(c) The second-law efficiency of this heat engine.
