Find rate at which energy is discharged to cooling water


At steady rate, a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 38% generates 100 MW of electricy while discharging energy by heat transfer to cooling water at an average temperature of 70F. The average temperature of the steam passing through the boiler is 900F. A)Determine the rate at which energy is discharged to the cooling water, in BTU/Hr. B)Determine the minimum theoretical rate at which energy could be discharged to the cooling water, in BTU/Hr.
