Answer

(a) $585MW$ (b) $0.3019$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $Heat \space provided=Work \space done+Heat \space discarded$ This can be rearranged as: $Heat \space discarded=Heat \space provided-Work \space done$ $Heat\space discarded=838-253=585MW$ (b) As $\eta=\frac{Work\space done}{Heat \space input}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\eta=\frac{253}{838}$ $\eta=0.3019$
