Consider condenser in a vapor power plant in which steam from the turbine is condensed to saturated liquid by rejecting heat to cooling water. Cooling water enters the condenser at 1 bar and 20oC (State 1) and leaves at 40?C (State 2) with negligible pressure drop.
(a) Calculate change in specific enthalpy (kJ/kg) of cooling water using compressed liquid approximation.
(b) Calculate the change in specific enthalpy (kJ/kg) of cooling water using specific heat.
