An ideal heat engine receives heat from a source at 1250 K at a rate of 450 kW and rejects heat to a medium at 33∘C . The power output of the engine is 195 kW. The irreversibility rate associated is
ηCarnot=ηrev=1−TLTH=WrevQs
Wrev=(1−(33+273)1250)×450=339.84 kW
Irreversibility rate I=Wrev−Wactual
I=339.84−195=144.84 kW
