Explain efficiency and minimum possible rate of heat discard

Reference no: EM13266940

A nuclear power plant that generates 750MW operates with a reactor temperature at 315 0 C and uses river water (20 0 C) for cooling. Find the maximum possible thermal efficiency and minimum possible rate of heat discard. If the actual efficiency is 60% of the maximum and the river has a flowrate of 165 m 3 /s, what is the expected temperature rise of the river
