Answer: The forces are balanced.
Answer:
a) 1511 MW
b) 44%
Explanation:
The thermal power will be the electric power plus the heat taken away by the cooling water.
Qt = P + Qc
The heat taken away by the water will be:
Qc = G * Cp * (t1 - t0)
The Cp of water is 4180 J/(kg K)
The density of water is 1 kg/L
Then
G = 1.17 * 10^8 L/h * 1 kg/L * 1/3600 h/s = 32500 kg/s
Now we calculate Qc
Qc = 32500 * 4180 * (29.8 - 23.6) = 842*10^6 W = 842 MW
The total thermal power then is
Qt = 669 + 842 = 1511 MW
The efficiency is
η = P / Qt
η = 669 / 1511 = 44%
power = force x velocity ==> work done/time = force x velocity ==> 33750/t = force x 30 ==> force x time = 33750/30 ==> momentum(P) = 1125 kg-m/s ( since force = momentum/time). P = m x v ==> m= P/v = 1125/30 =37.5 kg.
Energy is the ability to do work.
