Calculate the power output if u have a thermal efficiency of 32% and a thermal power output of 1200 if the Npp uses 7% of the electricity it produces?
Added by April M.
Step 1
To find the total thermal power input, we need to divide the thermal power output by the thermal efficiency. The thermal efficiency is given as 32% (or 0.32 in decimal form). Total Thermal Power Input = Thermal Power Output / Thermal Efficiency Total Thermal Show more…
