Question 1
A nuclear power plant is rated at 500 MW (it provides this amount of useful power). During operation, the hot core is at 577 °C , and the average temperature of the cooling water is 27 °C
Part A
What is the maximum available thermal efficiency for these temperatures?
Part B
This plant is rated at the lower efficiency of 50%. For cooling, it takes in seawater at 17 C and gives it back at 37 °C (so that the average is indeed 27 °C). How many kilograms of water is needed per second?
Calculate the use factor in decimal form for at least two decimal point of a power plant if the capacity factor is 35% and it operates 8000 hrs during the year?

Answer thank you! A logging firm in Isabella operates a Diesel Electric Plant to supply its electric energy requirements. During a 2 hour period, the plant consumed 250 gallons of fuel at 80°F and produced 2900 kW-hrs. Industrial fuel is used at 30°API and was purchased at P30/li at 60°F. Determine the overall thermal efficiency in percent of the plant.arrow_forward
- Provide a complete given and computation. Include all the decimals. There are received 68,000 kg/h of steam by an ideal regenerated engine, having only one heater, of which the heater receives 15,400 kg/hr the condenser receives the remainder at 0.007 MPa. If the heater pressure is 0.96 MPa, find the state (quality or "SH) of the steam (a) at the heater entrance and (b) at the condenser entrance.arrow_forwardA particular steam power plant has 45% conversion efficiency and uses #4 fuel oil. Calculate the energy (in kWh) the plant could produce from 120 barrels of oil. Using a gas turbine with 45% efficiency, how much natural gas (in Cu Ft) would be required to provide the same amount of energy calculated in (1)?arrow_forwardHow many Btu of heat can be produced by 4 kWh ofelectricity?arrow_forward
- Question 11 You are designing a gas turbine engine that must provide 1.91 kW of output power. The efficiency of the engine is 0.57 times the efficiency of an ideal (Carnot) engine with the same high and low temperatures. You have determined that you can supply 8.77 kW of input heat to the engine at a temperature of 595 K. What is the exhaust temperature you should design for the engine? Give your answer in Kelvin to at least three significant digits. Question 12 A small power plant is designed to generate (output) 8.32 kW of power (8.32x10³ J/s). The plant is powered by steam at 749 K with the exhaust at 325 K. This power plant is less efficient than an ideal engine, of course. It's efficiency is 51.1% of the efficiency of an ideal (Carnot) engine with the same high and lower temperatures. What is the magnitude of the heat that is exhausted by the engine each second? Give your answer in kJ (10³ J) to at least three significant figures. Your answer is a positive number, the magnitude of…arrow_forwardb) The bore of each cylinder in a four-cylinder four-stroke internal combustion engine is 28 mm and the stroke of each piston is 125 mm. During testing, the engine runs at 105 revolutions per minute (rpm) with a pressure-volume indicator diagram showing a mean net area of 2.4 cm2 and a diagram length of 0.9 cm. The pressure scale on the indictor diagram is set to 120 kN/m2 per cm.
