The town of Mustang, TX is concerned that waste heat discharged from a new up- stream power plant will decimate the minnow popul

ation in its local stream. The power plant is 35% efficient with a rated output of 350 MW, and 75% of the waste heat is discharged into the stream, which flows at 150 m3/s. Before the power plant starts operations, the stream temperature was 20◦C. If the minnows can handle max- imum stream temperatures of 22◦C, will the water be safe at the point of cooling water discharge? (Assume that the waste heat is discharged to the flow of the whole stream.)

Answer:

Yes the water will be safe at the point of cooling water discharge

Explanation:

Power losses in plant= 350- 350×0.35=227.5MW

Rate of heat rejection to stream= 0.75× 227.5= 170.625MW

Rate of heat rejection= rate of flow of water× c × ΔT

170625000= 150000000× 4.186 × (Final temperature- 20)

Final temperature= 20.3 ◦C

The final temperature of stream will be 20.3 ◦C. Thechange is very small so the minnows will be able to handle this temperature.

Answer: ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY.

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love
