A heat engine that operates at steady state between two reservoirs at TH = 750◦C and TL = 15◦C, has a heat intake of 0.1 MW and rejects 50 kW of heat to the low- temperature environment. Determine the actual power produced, the thermal efficiency, the entropy generation rate. In addition, calculate the maximum possible output power and efficiency. Assume the reservoirs are isolated systems.
