Answer:

401.3 kg/s

Explanation:

The power plant has an efficiency of 36%. This means 64% of the heat form the source (q1) will become waste heat. Of the waste heat, 85% will be taken away by water (qw).

qw = 0.85 * q2

q2 = 0.64 * q1

p = 0.36 * q1

q1 = p /0.36

q2 = 0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * 600 = 907 MW

In evaporation water becomes vapor absorbing heat without going to the boiling point (similar to how sweating takes heat from the human body)

The latent heat for the vaporization of water is:

SLH = 2.26 MJ/kg

So, to dissipate 907 MW

G = qw * SLH = 907 / 2.26 = 401.3 kg/s

Answer:

m = 367.753 kg.s

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Power plant capacity W=600 MW

Plant efficiency is \eta = 36\%

efficiency = \frac{W}{QH}

0.36 = \frac{600}{QH}

QH = 1666.6 MW

from first law of thermodynamics we hvae

QH -QR = W

Amount of heat rejection is QR = 1066.66 MW

As per given information we have 15% heat released to atmosphere

QR = 0.15 \tiimes 1066.66 = 159.99 MW

AND 85% to cooling water

Q = 0.85 \times 1066.66 = 906.66 MW

from saturated water table

at temp 150 degree c we have Hfg = 2465.4 kJ/kg

rate of cooiling water is given as  =  mhfg

906.66 \times 1000  KW = m \times 2465.4

m = 367.753 kg.s

where m is rate of makeup water that is added to offset

What does it take to launch a rocket in space?
Dafna11 [192]
To get rockets into orbit, they need much more thrust than the amount that will get them up to the required altitude. They also need sufficient thrust to allow them to travel with very high orbital speed. ... If speed is less than this, an object will fall back to the Earth

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

4. A series of steps engineers use to solve problems.

Explanation:

The process of engineering design is a sequence of procedures that engineers pursue to arrive at a solution to a specific problem. Most times the solution includes creating a product such as a computer code, which fulfills certain conditions or performs a function. If the project in-hand includes designing, constructing, and testing it, then engineers probably adopt the design process. Steps of the process include defining the problem, doing background research,  specifying requirements, brainstorming solutions, etc.
