Now consider the enlarged section of this flow chart below: The section encased in yellow includes two heat exchangers. In this system, water heated through the jacketing system of the engine (light blue), at 191.2F, is split into two. One part goes to the heat exchanger on the right, taking the "hot water return" from the campus (green) and reheating it to 181.9F. The other part goes to the heat exchanger on the left, taking steam "condensate return" from the campus (dark blue) and pre-heating it to 187.6F before it goes to the HDSG to be converted to steam using the hot gases from the engine. Perform an energy balance to calculate the total heat loss from thesystem marked by the yellow line, which includes two heat exchangers as well as pipes/tubing. Also calculate what \% of available energy was transferred to the two streams being heated
