Homework Statement
A haet engine works based on the difference of the temperature at the top and bottom of the ocean. The machine is solar powered and the average solar irradiance is 240W/m^2 and the temperature at the surface of the water is 25ºC. Calculate the temperature at the bottom of the ocean so that the machine debits a power of 0.1MW to a surface area of 10^4 m^2.
Homework Equations
Q=σ*A*T^4(surface)
The Attempt at a Solution
I am stuck in this one... I don't know if it is possible for you to give me some hint. I'm not sure if I need to find the efficiency here, but I'll probably will need it to get the heat at the bottom and maybe trough there get the temperature.
