Extra Question
The Satsop Nuclear Power plant was designed to use steam at 549 degrees Fahrenheit to turn turbines, generating 1243 MWatts of useful electricity. In the process the steam is cooled to water at 125 degrees Fahrenheit before being reheated by the reactor. Calculate the optimum efficiency of the steam engine, assuming it operates as a Carnot engine. How much energy per second must the nuclear reaction provide to the steam engine as heat in order to produce the power it is designed for? (Later we will turn to the question of how that nuclear energy is generated by nuclear fission).
