Hi, I am stuck on the question, I don't require the solution, just how to get started.
A power plant's electrical output is 750MW. Cooling water at 15oC flows through the plant at 2.8x10^4 litres/sec and its temperature by 8.5oC. Assuming the plants only energy loss is to the cooling water and that the cooling water is effectively the low temperature reservoir, determine:
1. the rate of energy extraction from the fuel
2. the plant's efficiency.
Cheers
Greg
