Reference no: EM13268127

The surface waters of tropical oceans are at a temperature of 28?C while water at a depth of 1200 m is at 3?C. It has been suggested these warm and cold waters could be the heat reservoirs for a heat engine, allowing us to do work or generate electricity from the thermal energy of the ocean.

What is the maximum efficiency possible of such a heat engine?
