Question: 6 . Problem 4 . 1 6 Part ( b ) only. Consider two electrical generating stations one a fossil fuel plant and the other

6. Problem 4.16 Part (b) only. Consider two electrical generating stations one a fossil fuel
plant and the other nuclear both producing the same electrical power. The efficiency of
the fossil fuel plant is (eff)f , whereas that of the nuclear plant is (eff)n. Given that one can
derive the following relationship for the ratio of the heat rejected to the environment by the
two plants
Qcn
Qcf
=1(ef f )n
1(ef f )f
(ef f )f
(ef f )n
,
(b) Evaluate Qcn/Qcf for the case where (eff)f =37% and (eff)n =33%
