Evaluate-Communicate Print nlnfo Efficiency Power Plant (c13p30) A steam-electric power plant delivers 900 MW of electric power. The surplus heat is exhausted into a river with a flow of 5.33x105 kg/s, causing a change in temperature of 0.96 °C what is the efficiency of the power plant (in 96 Don't enter a unit.)? What is the rate of the thermal source? Post Discussion Send Feedback

Explanation / Answer

Qout = m C deltaT  

= (5.33 x 10^5) (4184)(0.96)

= 2140.9 x 10^6 J/s

= 2140.9 MW


Qin = Qout + W = 3040.9

n = 900 / 3040.9 = 0.296 ..........Ans

Thermal source rate = 3040.9 MW .......Ans
