1) Water vapor with a flow rate of 20000 kg / h enters the condenser of a power plant at a pressure of 20 kPa and a dryness degree of 95 percent. In the condenser, there is heat transfer to the river water flowing through the pipes. The temperature rise of the river water is limited to 10'C to prevent thermal pollution. Since the state of the water at the condenser outlet is saturated liquid at 20 kPa pressure, what should be the flow rate of the cooling water.
