Automobile efficiency and power plants: Putting it all together

Nuclear power plant A nuclear power plant does useful work generating electric energy at a rate of 500 MW. The energy transfer rate to the electric generator from the high-temperature nuclear fuel (the hot reservoir) is 1200 MW. Determine the efficiency of the power plant and the rate at which the working substance in the plant transfers energy through heating to the cold water (the cool reservoir).
