A power plant is designed to generate 80 mw of work 980x106


A power plant is designed to generate 8.0 MW OF WORK 98.0X106 J/s). The plant is powered by steam at 765K with the exhaust at 341K. If this power plant has an efficiency of 49% of the efficiency of an ideal engine operating at the same temperatures, what is the magnitude of the heat that is exhausted by the engine each second?

Give your answer in MW(106 J/s) to three significant figures. It is a positive number (the magnitude).
