In order to keep a basement from flooding, it is necessary to pump 285 kg of water each minute from the basement up to a height of 3.28 m (and then outside).
If 18.6% of the total energy used by the pump is wasted as heat, what is the minimum wattage pump that is required to keep the basement from flooding?
A typical coal-fired power plant burns 340 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 2.5 × 106 MJ of energy. One metric ton has a mass of 1000 kg and a metric ton of coal has a volume of 1.5 m^3. The heat of combustion is 28 MJ/kg. What is the power plant’s efficiency?
