Throckhampton has found a way to generate energy from the gradient in temperature of a lake. At some large depth the temperature of the water is 7.3 degrees C while at the surface it is 26.7 degrees C.

What is the maximum theoretical efficiency of the research power plant?

It is hoped that the power plant can produce power equal to 216 kW. The cold water must absorb heat at what rate for this to happen? Assume the maximum theoretical efficiency.

Water at 11 degrees C leaves the power plant having once been colder upon entrance. What must the cold water rate flow through the plant? Express answer in kg/h and L/h.

pls include a picture

The initial temperature of the lake at the edge of the mountain glacier is 6.40'C, and the volume of water is 185,000m^3. There is iceberg which the mass is 17.3*10^6kg, temperature is -10'C. The iceberg fell and floated on the lake. If there is no energy exchange except between the lake and the iceberg, what is the final temperature of the lake and the iceberg? If there is remaining ice, how much ice is left?
