Study of available thermal energy on OTEC

Thermal efficiency is commonly applied in the power plants for the purpose of evaluating heat engines. However, the maximization of the thermal efficiency does not lead the maximization of the available power output from ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), which converts the finite thermal energ...
