In this problem, we're going get a rough estimate the amount of uranium fuel it would take if the US recieved all its electrical power from nuclear power plants. The size of a power plant in normally given as the about of electrical power it can produce when running a full capacity. This electrical power produced can be very different than the mechanical or thermal power that was required to produce this electricity. For example, power plant might have a...

A fossil-fuel steam power plant operates at about 50% of Carnot thermal efficiency. It has been suggested that the air pollution from a plant that operates at 1000 F would contribute 1/2 the pollution (per ton of coal burned) that the present system that operates at about 1500 F. The heat rejection temperature is 70 F. For the same electrical output what is the percent difference in the pollution resulting from the combustion? Assume that the thermal energy released by...

A nuclear power plant has an electrical power output of 1000 MW and operates with an efficiency of 33%. If the excess energy is carried away from the plant by a river with a flow rate of 1.4e6 kg/s, what is the rise in temperature of the flowing water? Hint: Consider the flow of energy during one second. During that second, the power plant does 1000 MJ of work ?. Knowing the work and the efficiency, you can calculate the...

A nuclear power plant operates at 72 % of its maximum theoretical (Carnot) efficiency between temperatures of 630 ∘C and 370 ∘C. If the plant produces electric energy at the rate of 1.4 GW , how much exhaust heat is discharged per hour?
