3-3 An electrical power plant is a system governed by the First Law of Thermo- dynamics. Enough coal is fed to the plant every hour to generate 1,000,000 Btu of Heat. The output from the plant is WORK, equivalent to 800,000 Btu in an hour. How much heat must be rejected from the plant each hour? Why? 3-3 An electrical power plant is a system governed by the First Law of Thermo- dynamics. Enough coal is fed to the plant every hour to generate 1,000,000 Btu of Heat.
