Question
Water is taken from a river to cool a power plant. The water accepts waste heat and is returned water back to the river. The return water has a flow rate of 200 gal/min, and the receiving river has a flow rate of 3,000 gal/min and a temperature of 18 degrees C in the summer at the point of mixing. If the maximum allowable temperature of the river after mixing is 22 degrees C before the fish die, what is the maximum allowable temperature of the return water?
