A coal-burning power plant produces 3000. MW of thermal energy, which is used to boil water and produce supersaturated steam at 300. °C. This high-pressure steam turns a turbine producing 1000. MW of electrical power. At the end of the process, the steam is cooled to 30.0 °C and recycled.
a) What is the maximum possible efficiency of the plant?
b) What is the actual efficiency of the plant?
c) To cool the steam, river water runs through a condenser at a rate of 4.00 ∙ 107 gal/h. If the water enters the condenser at 20.0 °C, what is its exit temperature?
