An insulated heat exchanger is used to condense steam coming from a turbine. The steam enters the heat exchanger at a mass flow rate of 150 lbm/s, at a pressure of 5 psia, and at a quality of 0.85 and exits the heat exchanger as a saturated liquid at 5 psia. The heat is removed by liquid water, which enters at 70°F. Plot the exit temperature of the liquid water and the entropy generation rate of the heat exchanger for cooling water flow rates ranging from 1500 lbm/s to 5000 lbm/s.
