Using appropriate software, determine the maximum work that can be extracted from a pond
containing 105
kg of water at 350 K when the temperature of
the surroundings is 300 K. Notice that the temperature of water
in the pond will be gradually decreasing as energy is extracted
from it; therefore, the efficiency of the engine will be decreasing. Use temperature intervals of (a) 5 K, (b) 2 K, and (c) 1 K
until the pond temperature drops to 300 K. Also solve this
problem exactly by integration and compare the results.
