Chapter 15, Problem 15.69(choose chapter or problem)
A 38% efficient power plant puts out 850 MW of electrical power. Cooling towers take away the exhaust heat. (a) If the air temperature is allowed to rise 7.0 C, estimate what volume of air is heated per day. Will the local climate be heated significantly? (b) If the heated air were to form a layer 180 m thick, estimate how large an area it would cover for 24 h of operation. Assume the air has density and has specific heat of about at constant pressure.
