A coal-fired electrical power station has an efficiency of 38$\%$ . The temperature of the steam leaving the boiler is $550^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ What percentage of the maximum efficiency does this station obtain? (Assume the temperature of the environment is $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C} . )$

so maximum efficiency. Aita. Let's say maximum ater is equal to efficiency off Cardinals engine that is one minus. T c divided by th. Now we are given TC and we are given th T. C is 23 Celsius, so we must add a factor of 2 73 to this. To make it in terms of Calvin. T. Edge is 5 15 in your senses. 5 50 plus 2 73 Again, we must get temperatures in Kelvin. So if you do this calculation and find that the answer is 64% 64.4% or you get actual answers. Corn 644 So that's maximum efficiency. If we had cardinals angle. No, we are asked to find a percentage off maximum efficiency, the station updates, so we are given actual efficiency. Eight actually is equal to 38% so 0.38 So let's take a ratio off them yet are actually divided by a Tom mats. So 0.38 divided by 644 Let's do this calculation. You'll find that the answer here is 0.59 That is equal to 59% so this engine obtains maximum efficiency off 38% which is actually 59% off maximum efficiency if it can operate as cardinals engine that is maximum efficiency engine no.
