In a bwr or pwr, steam is generated with a temperature of about 290 °c. if river water used to receive waste heat has a temperature of 20 °c, what is the maximum possible (ideal) conversion efficiency of the reactor's thermal energy into electrical energy? nuclear power plants typically have conversion efficiencies of 34%. why is this efficiency less than the ideal efficiency?

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
