For the plant in Problem P7.33, 25,000 gal/s of water flow in the river adjacent to the power plant. The river is used as the source of cooling water for the condenser. Considering the heat transferred from the power plant to the river each second and the specific heat of water, by what amount does the temperature of the river rise as it passes the power plant? The density and specific heat of water are listed in Tables 6.1 and 7.4.

Problem P7.33

A natural-gas-fired electrical power plant produces an output of 750 MW. By using a typical efficiency from Table 7.6 and neglecting the small amount of power drawn by the pump, calculate the rates at which:

(a) Heat is supplied to the water/steam in the steam generator.

(b) Waste heat is spent into the river adjacent to the power plant.
