Question:
A thermal storage is made with a rock (granite) bed of 2 m3 which is heated to 400 K using solar energy. A heat engine receives a QH from the bed and rejects heat to the ambient at 290 K.

What is the heat engine efficiency at the beginning of the process and what is it at the end of the process?
