convection...nuclear reactors...**
hey guys, there is one question i am having a great deal of trouble trying to find formulas and stuff for out of my textbook and don't really have the time or patience to search through hundreds of google pages .
so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
A typical nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW (1000MJ/s) of electrical energy. In doing so, it produces 2000 MW of waste heat that must be removed from the reactor. Consider a reactor where the intake water is at 18°C. Regulations limit the temperature of the output water to 30°C so as not to harm aquatic organisms. How many kilograms of cooling water have to be pumped through the reactor each minute?
TIA!
