Explanation Given data: Electric power generated ( P ) in nuclear power plant is 1 GW , Operating efficiency ( η ) is 35 % , Volume of water intake ( V ) is 90 m 3 , Initial temperature ( T i ) is 10 ° C . Formula used: Formula to calculate the absorption of heat energy by the water is, Q = M c Water ( T f − T i ) = ( V × d ) Water c Water ( T f − T i ) (1) Here, V is the volume of intake water, d is the density of water that is 1000 kg m 3 , c W a t e r is the specific heat capacity of water that is 4186 J kg ⋅ °C , T f is the final temperature, T i is the initial temperature. Consider the following expression to calculate the total energy consumed per second by the power plant is, e ( η ) = P (2) Substitute 35 % for η , and 1 × 10 9 W for P in equation (2) to find e . e ( 35 % ) = 1 × 10 9 W e ( 35 100 ) = 1 × 10 9 W e = 2.86 × 10 9 W Consider the following expression to calculate the total heat produced per second is, Q = ( 100 % − η ) e (3) Substitute 35 % for η , and 2.86 × 10 9 W for e in equation (3) to find Q . Q = ( 100 % − 35 % ) ( 2

Air temperature of 37 °C increases swimming pool temperature of 2.55 °C. What is the fraction of the water in the pool must evaporate during this time to carry enough energy to keep the temperature of the pool constant? 4186 J/(kg°C) = specific heat of water 2,430,000 (2.43 x 106) J/kg = latent heat of vaporization for the water in the pool.

The iceberg requires 7.4 x 1020 Joules of energy to melt it completely. It absorbs energy from the Sun at a constant average rate of 88 Watts/m2. The total surface area of iceberg exposed to the sunlight is 12 billion (1.2 x 1010) square meters. How long will it take for sunlight to melt the entire iceberg in years
