ICP 5.1.An engineer proposes a design for a steam power plant. By burning natural gas, it will heat water in a boilerfrom x1 = 0, T1 = 300 “F to x; = 1, T2 = 300 °F. The flow rateof the water in the boiler is 100 [hm/s. The plant produces 50 000 Btu/s of power,and dumps waste heat to the atmosphere at 100 °F. a) How much heat OH is required to heat the water?b) How much waste heat Q is produced? c) What is the thermal efficiency Wm of the power plant?
