An inventor claims to have built a heat engine that receives 700 kJ of heat from a source at 500 K and produces 300 kJ of net work, rejecting the waste heat to a sink at 290 K. Find (a) the claimed thermal efficiency and (b) the maximum (Carnot) efficiency between these reservoirs (answers in %), and state whether the claim is reasonable.
