Sagot :

The plant efficiency will be 75%.

We have a engineer in a Electric - Generation Station.

We have to determine the maximum efficiency plant will ever achieve.

What is the formula to calculate the maximum efficiency achieved by the plant ?

The maximum efficiency the plant will achieve is defined as -

η(max) = 1 -  [tex]$\frac{T_{min} }{T_{max} }[/tex]

Now -

T(minimum) = Temperature of Cooling water = 300 K

T(maximum) = Temperature of boiler = 1200 K

Therefore -

The maximum efficiency will be -

η(max) = 1 - [tex]\frac{300}{1200}[/tex]

η(max) = 1 - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

η(max) = 3/4

Percentage efficiency = [tex]\frac{3}{4} \times 100\\[/tex] = 3 x 25 = 75%

Hence, the plant efficiency will be 75%.
