In one type of nuclear power plant, heat is transferred in the nuclear reactor to liquid sodium.
Question:
In one type of nuclear power plant, heat is transferred in the nuclear reactor to liquid sodium. The liquid sodium is then pumped through a heat exchanger where heat is transferred to boiling water. Saturated vapor steam at 700 lbf/in.2 exits this heat exchanger and is then superheated to 1100 F in an external gas-fired super heater. The steam enters the turbine, which has one (open-type) feedwater extraction at 60 lbf/in 2. The isentropic turbine efficiency is 87%, and the condenser pressure is 1 lbf/in.2. Determine the heat transfer in the reactor and in the super heater to produce a net power output of 1000 Btu/s.

I have been teaching students for 5 years now in different subjects and it's truly been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
I have also done one-to-one tutoring with 100+ students and help them achieve great subject knowledge.
I have expertise in computer subjects like C++, C, Java, and Python programming and other computer Science related fields.
Many of my student's parents message me that your lessons improved their children's grades and this is the best only thing you want as a teacher. I have done plenty of studying and lots of learning on many exciting and challenging topics. All these experiences have influenced my decision to take on the teaching role in various capacities. As a tutor, I am looking forward to getting to understand your needs and helping you achieve your academic goals. I'm highly flexible and contactable. I am available to work on short notice since I only prefer to work with very small and select groups of students.
