Determine the gpm of cold seawater to be pumped


An ocean thermal energy conversion power plant generate 300 kw. Determine the gpm of cold seawater to be pumped from deep ocean to serve as the cooling medium or heat sink if the cooling water experiences a temperature raise of 7 grades F and the thermal efficiency is 2.5 percent. Take the density of seawater to be 64 lbm/ft^3.
