A nuclear power plant generates 500 MW of waste heat that must be carried away by water pumped from a lake. If the water temperature is to rise by `10^@C`, what is the required flow rate in `kg//s`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
`P = (dm)/(dt) s*Deltatheta`
`:. (dm)/(dt) = P/(sDeltatheta) = (500xx10^6)/((4200)xx 10)`
`=11904 kg//s`
`=1.2 xx (10^4) kg//s` .
