A system executes a power cycle while receiving 750 kJ by heat transfer at a temperature of 1500 K and discharging 100 kJ by heat transfer at 500 K. Heat transfer from the system also occurs at a temperature of 1000 K. There are no other heat transfers. If no internal irreversibilities are present, determine the thermal efficiency.
