The fayette power station* is a coal-fired power plant located near la grange, texas and provides electric power for both the houston and austin metro areas. this power station has a nominal output power of 1,760 mw (electric), and has an approximate thermal efficiency of 40%. heat is provided to the plant by combustion of coal, and the thermal sink for the plant is lake fayette, a manmade reservoir. using the given data, determine the rate of heat rejection to lake fayette (mw).

2640 MW

Explanation:

The Heat rejection rate is the rate at which the heat energy get lost from a system to the environment

It is obtained by finding the difference in heat supplied and the work obtained from the system

Given

Efficiency = 40% = 0.4

Power produced/output= 1760MW

The expression for heat supplied rate is ;

Qs=P/η

where P is power output and η is the efficiency

Qs=1760/0.4 =4400MW

The expression for rate of heat rejection is given by;

Qr=Qs-P

where Qr is rate of heat rejection, Qs=4400 MW and P=1760MW

Qr= Qs-P

Qr=4400-1760 = 2640MW

it would be kevlar ^^

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
