Question:

A steam power plant operates with a boiler output of 20 kg/s steam at 2 MPa, 600C. The condenser operates at 50 C dumping energy to a river that has an average temperature of 20 C. There is one open feedwater heater with extraction from the turbine at 600 kPa and its exit is saturated liquid. Find the mass flow rate of the extraction flow. If the river water should not be heated more than 5 C how much water should be pumped from the river to the heat exchanger (condenser)?
