It is proposed to build a one million kw electric power


It is proposed to build a one million kW electric power plant with steam as the working fluid. The condensers are to be cooled with river water at a flow rate of 5 x 108 lbm/hr. The maximum steam temperature will be 1000 F and the pressure in the condensers will be 1 psi. As an engineering consultant, you are asked to estimate the resulting temperature rise of the river far downstream of the plant. What is your estimate? In the Process of estimating this change in temperature, also calculate the heat transfer in the condensers. Assume a Cp for water of 1 Btu/lbm degree Rankin.
