Chapter 15, Problem 15.120(choose chapter or problem)
A nuclear-fueled electric power plant utilizes a so-called boiling water reactor. In this type of reactor, nuclear energy causes water under pressure to boil at 285 C (the temperature of the hot reservoir). After the steam does the work of turning the turbine of an electric generator, the steam is converted back into water in a condenser at 40 C (the temperature of the cold reservoir). To keep the condenser at 40 C, the rejected heat must be carried away by some meansfor example, by water from a river. The plant operates at three-fourths of its Carnot efficiency, and the electrical output power of the plant is 1.2 109 watts. A river with a water flow rate of 1.0 105 kg/s is available to remove the rejected heat from the plant. Find the number of Celsius degrees by which the temperature of the river rises. Se
