Steam at a pressure of 0.08 bar and a quality of 93.2% enters a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where it condenses on the outside of
tubes through which cooling water flows, exiting as saturated liquid at 0.08 bar. The mass flow rate of the condensing steam is 5.8 x
105 kg/h. Cooling water enters the tubes at 15°C and exits at 35°C with negligible change in pressure.
Neglecting stray heat transfer and ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of the cooling water, in
kg/h, for steady-state operation.

- In a thermal power plant, steam is obtained from the boiler at 70 bar and 450 °C. This steam is expanded in a high pressure (H.P) turbine to 25 bar and then reheated to 420°C at constant pressure. The steam is then expanded in the intermediate pressure (I.P) turbine. Part of the steam leaving the intermediate pressure turbine is taken to an open exchanger at 180°C (FW) and the remaining steam is taken to a low pressure (L.P) turbine, where it is expanded to 0.07 bar. The isentropic efficiency of the high pressure turbine is 78.5%, the intermediate pressure turbine is and the low pressure turbine has an efficiency of 83%.
