The thermal power from the reactor is 2400 MW and this is used to drive (operate) a heat engine. The mechanical power output of the heat engine is used to drive a generator. The generator is 75 % efficient and produces 600 MW of electrical power. This is represented by the energy flow diagram below. 2400 MW generater 600 MW heat engine power input to geneator power lost by generator power lost by heat engine (i) Calculate the power input to the generator. (ii) Calculate the power lost from the generator. (iii) Calculate the power lost by the heat engine.
