The statement about "efficiency compared the output work to the output force" is false. Efficiency can be compared from the input work to the output work.

Practical steam engines utilize 450ºC steam, which is later exhausted at 270ºC.

Naily [24]

(a) 0.249 (24.9 %)

The maximum efficiency of a heat engine is given by

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$

where

Tc is the low-temperature reservoir

Th is the high-temperature reservoir

For the engine in this problem,

$T_C = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K$

$T_H = 450^{\circ}C+273=723 K$

Therefore the maximum efficiency is

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{543}{723}=0.249$

(b-c) 0.221 (22.1 %)

The second steam engine operates using the exhaust of the first. So we have:

$T_H = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K$ is the high-temperature reservoir

$T_C = 150^{\circ}C+273=423 K$ is the low-temperature reservoir

If we apply again the formula of the efficiency

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$

The maximum efficiency of the second engine is

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{423}{543}=0.221$
