At a steam power plant, steam engines work in pairs, the heat output of the first one being the approximate heat input of the second. the operating temperatures of the first are 740βc and 440 βc, and of the second 415 βc and 270 βc.
part a
if the heat of combustion of coal is 2.8Γ107j/kg, at what rate must coal be burned if the plant is to put out 950 mw of power? assume the efficiency of the engines is 65% of the ideal (carnot) efficiency.
express your answer using two significant figures.
part b
water is used to cool the power plant. if the water temperature is allowed to increase by no more than 4.5βc, estimate how much water must pass through the plant per hour.
express your answer using two significant figures.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ΒΊc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in Γ10^{-3} β3 m)
