5.(15 points) Saturated steam enters the condenser of a steam power plant at 20 kPa and a quality of 95% with a mass flow rate of 20,000kgh. It is to be cooled by water from a nearby river by circulating the water through tubes within the condenser. The river water enters at 5C and leaves at 15C. The entering steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at 20 kPa .
(a) Determine the required mass flow rate of the cooling water in units of kgs.
(b) Calculate the rate of heat transfer from the steam to the cooling water in units of kJs.
