  2. Consider the best possible heat engine working in air at 25°C. The engine continuously converts heat from a source at 300°C to work, and heat is continuously transferred into the engine at a rate of 100 kJ/s. The maximum possible rate at which the engine can continuously produce work is ___________ 100 kJ/s. greater than   equal to   almost  significantly less than
