Answer:
W= 4.89 KJ
Explanation:
Lets take
temperature of hot water T₁ = 100⁰C
T₁ = 373 K
Temperature of cold ice T₂= 0⁰C
T₂ = 273 K
The latent heat of ice LH= 334 KJ
The heat rejected by the engine Q= m .LH
Q₂= 0.04 x 334
Q₂= 13.36 KJ
Heat gain by engine = Q₁
For Carnot engine
Q₁ = 18.25 KJ
The work W= Q₁ - Q₂
W= 18.25 - 13.36 KJ
W= 4.89 KJ
The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW
First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula
WP=ρQgh
Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head
Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW
Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as
η=
Plugging the values in the above equation
0.84=EP/57.38
EP=48.19 MW
Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.
