C. A wet steam to water heat exchanger (HE) is used as the condenser stage of a power plant. A Drexel grad designed the HE so it was well insulated and can be considered adiabatic. Due to environmental constraints the temperature of the cooling water (brought in from a nearby river) must increase by less than 8.5°C. The wet steam enters the heat exchanger at 3.0 kPa and a quality of 93% and leaves as saturated liquid at 3.0 kPa. The maximum flowrate of cooling water initial T= 25°C) available from the river is 3.75 Mg/s. 7. (30 pts) in C, what is the maximum mass flow rate of steam for the power cycle. kg/s dm/dt =
