The electric output of a power plant is 716 mw. cooling water is the main way heat from the powerplant is rejected, and it flows at a rate of 1.35 x 10^8 l/hr. the water enters the plant at 25.4°c and exits at 30.7°c. (a) what is the power plant's total thermal power? (mwt (megawatt thermal)
(b) what is the efficiency of the power plant?

(a) 83475 MW

(b) 85.8 %

Explanation:

Output power = 716 MW = 716 x 10^6 W

Amount of water flows, V = 1.35 x 10^8 L = 1.35 x 10^8 x 10^-3 m^3

mass of water, m = Volume  x density = 1.35 x 10^8 x 10^-3 x 1000

                                                               = 1.35 x 10^8 kg

Time, t = 1 hr = 3600 second

T1 = 25.4° C, T2 = 30.7° C

Specific heat of water, c = 4200 J/kg°C

(a) Total energy, Q = m x c x ΔT

Q = 1.35 x 10^8 x 4200 x (30.7 - 25.4) = 3 x 10^12 J

Power = Energy / time

Power input =

Power input = 83475 MW

(b) The efficiency of the plant is defined as the ratio of output power to the input power.

Thus, the efficiency is 85.8 %.

weight of the box is given as

here this is placed on the inclined of angle 42 degree

now this weight will have two components one is along the incline other is perpendicular to it

so here we need to apply a force parallel to incline opposite to its component of weight

so here the component of weight is given as

here we have

so it requires 75 n force to move it upwards

well clustered together.
