Sketch model system and explain the use of nuclear energy for PWR (pressure Water Reactor) Power Plant. Complete your answer with T-s, P-v and h-s diagram if known:
Compressed liquid enter heat exchanger 260oC ; 150 bar
Compressed liquid out heat exchanger 220oC ; 100 bar
fluid enter heat exchanger 212.4oC ; 20 bar, saturated liquid
fluid out heat exchanger 240oC ; 20 bar, superheated vapor
Steam out of turbine 0.04 bar ; x=90%
a) Calculate how much calorie that has to be generated by the reactor per kg liquid
b) Calculate power generated by the turbine
c) Calculate ratio mass flow rate compressed liquid (liquid cooled reactor) to fluid
