Answer

C

Work Step by Step

From the definitions: $\eta_{rev}=1-\dfrac{T_L}{T_H}$ With $T_H=1500\ K,\ T_L=300\ K$, then $\eta_{rev}=80\%$ $\eta_{actual}=\dfrac{\dot{W}}{\dot{Q}_{in}}$ With $\dot{W}=400\ kW,\ \dot{Q}_{in}=600\ kJ/s$, then $\eta_{actual}=66.7\%$ Finally: $\eta_{ _{II}}=\dfrac{\eta_{actual}}{\eta_{rev}}=83.3\%$
