A nuclear power plant operates at 40.0% efficiency with a continuous production of 1092 MW of usable power in 1.00 yearyear and consumes 1.12×106 g of uranium-235 in this time period. What is the energy in joules released by the fission of a single uranium-235 atom? Express your answer numerically in joules per atom. View Available Hint(s)
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...

Consider a steam power plant which operates on the simple ideal Rankine cycle (shown in the next page), where the boiler pressure is 3 MPa and the condenser saturation temperature is 50°C. The temperature at the exit of the boiler is 500°C. Water leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The mass flow rate through each component is 15 kg/s. Calculate: 1. The power output of the steam power plant 2. The thermal efficiency of the steam power plant Now,...
4. Consumers Energy Inc (CSI) operates a coal fired power plant in Michigan, which has to come in compliance with nitrogen oxide (NOx) standards by reducing its NOx emissions to 50 tons per year from its current level of 150 tons/year. It is considering the following options to come in compliance. A) Install Selective Catalytic Reactor (SCR) on its boiler. SCR reduces NOx emissions by absorbing NOx in exhaust flue gases. SCR requires a capital investment of $600,000 in year...

Problem 3. Rankine Cycle (90 points) A steam power plant operates with high pressure of 4 MPa and has a boiler exit at 600°C receiving heat from a 700° C reservoir. The ambient air at 20°C provides cooling to maintain the water/vapor mixture in the condenser at 60°C. All components are ideal (i.e., reversible) except the turbine which has an efficiency 92% ofa reversible isentropic process. Other than the irreversibility of the turbine, the power plant can be considered as...
