[b]1. Consider an ocean current flowing at 2.5m/s a) How much kinetic energy is contained in a cubic volume of water that measures 1m on each side? The density of seawater is about 1030kg/m3 b) If the flow is perpendicular to one of the cube faces, what is the rate at which the current carries...

[b]1. A 2.5GWth nuclear power plant operates at a high temperature of 570°K. In the winter the average low temperature at which it dumps waste heat is 268°K; in the summer it’s 295°K. Determine the thermodynamic efficiency of the plant in each season, and then derive from it the maximum possible...
