A steam power plant has the boiler efficiency of 92%, turbine (mechanical) efficiency of 96%, and electric generator efficiency of 97%. If 7% of the power generated is consumed in running the auxiliaries of the plant and the overall plant effieiency is 34%, find the percentage of energy lost in the condenser.
