Each second, a nuclear power plant generates 2000 mj of thermal energy from nuclear reactions in the reactor's core. this energy is used to boil water and produce high-pressure steam at 300 degree c. the steam spins a turbine, which produces 700 mj of electric power, then the steam is condensed and the water is cooled to 30 degree c before starting the cycle again.
a. what is the maximum possible efficiency of the plant?
b. what is the plant's actual efficiency?

Avertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of d = 1 mm and is used to measure pressure in a horizontal pipe carrying water as shown. due to pressure in the pipe, the water at 20ο°c rises into the tube to a height h. if the water pressure in the pipe is p = 500 pa gauge, estimate the height h: (a) without considering surface tension (b) with surface tension (capillary) effects. the contact angle ο± can be assumed at 30 deg
