Question: Problem 4 : ( 2 5 points ) : A coal fired power plant has the efficiency of 4 0 % . From the waste

Problem 4: (25 points): A coal fired power plant has the efficiency of 40%. From the waste heat (other 60% of the input power)80% is captured by the cooling water and the rest rejected by the smokestack. The cooling water with the flowrate of 28m3s is taken from a nearby river and the temperature of that increases by 10C in contact with the steam in power plant. The water then returns back to the river.
a) Determine the input power and capacity of the power plant in MW.
b) What would be the temperature of the river downstream the joint if the total flowrate of the river is 120m3s and the temperature upstream is 15C.
