A power plant condenser diverts from the power plant water that condenses heat at a rate of 34 [MW] The cooling water enters the condenser at a temperature of 15c and leaves at a temperature 30C lower than the water's condensation temperature. The pressure of the water at the exit of the turbine is 9[kpa] The condenser is made of brass tubes with an inner diameter of 25mm and an outer diameter of 30mm and the number of tubes in the condenser is 1000 A. Calculate the cooling water flow. B. Calculate the area of the heat exchanger on the condensing side
