Question

Steam enters the condenser of a steam power plant at 20 kPa as a
saturated vapor with a mass flow rate of 20,000 kg/h. It is to be cooled by water from a
nearby river by circulating the water through the tubes within the condenser. To prevent
thermal pollution, the river water is not allowed to experience a temperature rise above
10°C. If the steam is to leave the condenser as saturated liquid at 20 kPa, determine
(a) the mass flow rate of the cooling water required, and
(b) rate of heat loss from the steam.
(c) show the process for the steam on a ?-v diagram
