A power plant burns coal to produce pressurized steam at 540 K. The steam then condenses back into water at a temperature of 313 K.
If the plant operates at 50.0% of its maximum efficiency and its power output is 1.23 × 108 W, at what rate must heat be removed by means of a cooling tower?
An inventor claims to have devised a cyclical engine for use in space vehicles that operates with a nuclear-fuelgenerated energy source whose temperature is 920 R and a sink at 490 R that radiates waste heat to deep space. He also claims that this engine produces 4.5 hp while rejecting heat at a rate of 15,000 Btu/h. Is this claim valid?
