As shown in the figure, a Carnot heat engine generates 1.65 MW of net power by taking heat from a source that enters as saturated water vapor at 100 kPa pressure and exits as saturated liquid water at the same pressure. The heat engine throws heat into the well at 17 oC. Determine the mass flow rate of the water vapor flowing in the heat source accordingly. You can consider continuous flow conditions.
