Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat
er at P = 20 kPa. The change in enthalpy of the steam is – 2,491 kJ/kg. The steam is cooled by water from a river. Environmental regulations require that the maximum increase in the river water temperature is 10°C. a) What is the minimum mass flow rate of river water through the condenser to cool the steam? The Cp for water = 4.184 kJ/kg/K.
