Determine the rate at which is discharged to cooling water


At steady state a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 38% generates 100 MW of electricity while discharging energy by heat transfer of 70F. The average temperature of the steam passing through the boiler is 900 F. Determine: a) the rate at which is discharged to the cooling water, in BTU/h b) the minimum theoretical rate at which energy could be discharged to the cooling water, in Btu/h. Compare with the actual rate and discuss.
