Let us consider the heat engine, shown schematically in the Figure below, that receives a heat-transfer rate

Let us consider the heat engine, shown schematically in the Figure below, that receives a heat- transfer rate of 1 MW at a high temperature of 550C and rejects energy to the ambient surroundings at 300 K. Work is produced at a rate of 450 kW. We would like to know how much energy is discarded to the ambient surroundings and the engine efficiency and compare both of these to a Carnot heat engine operating between the same two reservoirs.
