Reference no: EM13557479

In a nuclear power plant, the reactor produces 361? C steam that is used to power the steam turbines which generate 2202 MW of electrical power. The cooling tower eliminates the waste heat at 55?C. If the efficiency of the plant is that of a Carnot engine, at what rate is waste heat vented to the atmosphere?

Answer in units of MW.
