Consider a 30% efficient 600 MW power plant burning 15,000 Btu/lb coal containing 65% carbon and 1.5% sulfur by mass. How much cooling water would be required (in m³/s) to carry away the waste heat at the power plant if we allowed the water temperature of the cooling water to increase in temperature by 15°C?
