20.54---- A typical coal-fired power plant generates 1000 MW of usable power at an overall thermal efficiency of 38%.
a) What is the rate of heat input to the plant?
b) The plant burns anthracite coal, which has a heat of combustion of 2.65×107J/kg. How much coal does the plant use per day, if it operates continuously?
c) At what rate is heat ejected into the cool reservoir, which is the nearby river?
d) The river's temperature is 18.0 ∘C before it reaches the power plant and 18.4 ∘C after it has received the plant's waste heat. Calculate the river's flow rate, in cubic meters per second.
e) By how much does the river's entropy increase each second?

A typical coal-fired power plant burns 290 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 800 MW of electricity. 1 metric ton= 1000 kg. The density of coal is 1500 kg/m3 and its heat of combustion is 28 MJ/kg. Assume that all heat is transferred from the fuel to the boiler and that all the work done in spinning the turbine is transformed into electrical energy. Part A)Suppose the coal is piled up in a 8.0 m × 11 m...
