Thank You Well I feel a little silly, for some reason "maximum Thermal efficiency" became "maximum residual heat". If I were to use this arrangement: (W/e)-W=q residual. were e is the efficiency and W is the work. it should give the minimal heat flow if I assume Carnot Efficiency correct?

Homework Statement A power plant generates 1300MW and operates at 315 °C a 20°C heat sink is available. what is the minimum rate at which heat must be discarded? Homework Equations not really sure how to begin this one, have a feeling it is related to dq=Tds at constant pressure giving...
