Question:

Compute the fraction of Carnot efficiency realized by a coal plant operating at 600 C and 45% efficiency (assume ambient temperature of 300 K). If another plant operates at the same fraction of Carnot efficiency at a temperature of 700 C, what is the thermal efficiency of the second plant?
