Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150

Sever21 [200]

Answer: $2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s$

Explanation:

Given

$Power\left ( P\right )=150 MW$

mass of core $\left ( m\right )=1.60\times 10^5 kg$

Average specific heat $\left ( C\right )=0.3349 KJ/kg^{\circ}C$

And rate of increase of temperature = $\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now

P= $mc\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$150\times 10^6=1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349\times \frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Thus $\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=[tex]\frac{1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349}{150\times 10^6}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s$
