What is the rate of heat input to the plant

Reference no: EM13303600

A typical coal-fired plant generates 1000 MegaWatts of usable power at an overall thermal efficiency of 35%

Part A: What is the rate of heat input to the plant?

Part B: The plant burns anthracite coal, which had a heat of combustion of 2.65x10^7 Joules per kilogram. How much coal does the plan use per day, if it operates continously?

Part C: At what rate is hear ejected into the cool reservoir, which is the nearby river?

Part D: The river's temperature is 18.0 degrees celcius before it reaches the power plant and 18.5 degrees celcius after it has received the plant's waste heat. Calculate the river's flow rate in cubic meters per second.

Part E: By how much does the river's entropy increase each second?
