The maximum theoretical efficiency of a heat engine is given by the Carnot efficiency formula , where is the cold reservoir temperature and is the hot reservoir temperature (both in Kelvin). If a steam engine operates with a hot reservoir at and a cold reservoir at , what is its maximum theoretical efficiency? (Note: )
