A nuclear power plant operates at 79 percent of its maximum theoretical (Carnot) efficiency between temperatures of 700° and 330

°C. If the plant produces electric energy at the rate of 1.3 GW, how much exhaust heat is discharged per hour?

Answer:

Explanation:

T₁ = 700 + 273 = 973 k

T₂ = 330 + 273 = 603 k

Theoretical efficiency = T₁ - T₂ / T₁

= (973 - 603) / 973

= .38 OR 38%

Operating efficiency = .79 x 38

= 30.02 %

Heat input Q₁ , Heat output to sink Q₂ , conversion into power = Q₁ - Q₂

given Q₁ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

efficiency = Q₁ - Q₂  /  Q₁

Q₁ - Q₂  /  Q₁ = 30.02 / 100

100Q₁ - 100Q₂ = 30.02Q₁

69.98 Q₁  = 100Q₂

Q₁  = 1.429 Q₂

Putting this in the relation

Q₁ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

1.429Q₂ - Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹ W

.429Q₂ = 1.3 x 10⁹

Q₂  = 3.03 x 10⁹W

= 3.03 GW.

How to find the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve using a graph?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Solubility indicates the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. Such a solution is called saturated. Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g .

Can someone explain how exactly to calculate the net force? Do you subtract the smaller number from the larger number? Any help
aleksley [76]

Explanation:

Let's say right is positive and left is negative.

F₁ = -150 N

F₂ = 220 N

Fnet = F₁ + F₂

Fnet = -150 N + 220 N

Fnet = 70 N

The magnitude of Fnet is 70 N, and since it's positive, the direction is to the right.

And since Fnet isn't 0, the force is unbalanced and the motion is changing.

After coming down a slope, a 60-kg skier is coasting northward on a level, snowy surface at a constant 15 m>s. Her 5.0-kg cat
Vinil7 [7]

To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts of conservation of the moment especially in objects that experience an inelastic colposition.

They are expressed as,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_1= mass of the skier

m_2= mass of the cat

v_1 = initial velocity of skier

v_2 = initial velocity of cat

v_f= final velocity of both

Re-arrange to find V_f we have,

V_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V_f = \frac{(60)(15)+(5)(-3.8)}{(60+5)}

V_f = 13.55m/s

Once the final velocity is found it is possible to calculate the change in kinetic energy, so

\Delta KE = KE_i-KE_f

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}(m_1v_1^2+m_2v^2_2)-\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_f^2

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}((60)(15)^2+(5)(-3.8)^2)-\frac{1}{2}(60+5)(13.55)^2

\Delta KE = 819.1J

Therefore the amount of kinetic energy converted in to internal energy is 819J
