Design the condenser of a steam power plant that has a thermal efficiency of 40 percent and generates 10 MW of net electric power. Steam enters the condenser as saturated vapor at 10 kPa, and it is to be condensed outside horizontal tubes through which cooling water from a nearby river flows. The temperature rise of the cooling water is limited to 8°C, and the velocity of the cooling water in the pipes is limited to 6 m/s to keep the pressure drop at an acceptable level. From prior experience, the average heat flux based on the outer surface of the tubes can be taken to be 12,000 W/m2. Specify the pipe diameter, total pipe length, and the arrangement of the pipes to minimize the condenser volume.
Without using LMTD formula.

A nuclear power plant generates 3000 MW of heat energy from nuclear reactions in the reactor's core. This energy is used to boil water and produce high-pressure steam at 320 ∘C. The steam spins a turbine, which produces 1000 MW of electric power, then the steam is condensed and the water is cooled to 25∘C before starting the cycle again. Part A: What is the maximum possible thermal efficiency of the power plant? Part B: Cooling water from a river...
