Aproposal is to build a 1000-mw electric power plant with steam as the working fluid. the condensers are to be cooled with river water. the maximum steam temperature is 550 celsius, and the pressure in the condensers will be 10 kpa. the river is 60 m wide and 8 m deep, and flows at a velocity of 10 m/min. estimate the temperature rise of the river downstream from the power plant.

At steady state, air at 200 kpa, 325 k, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. the inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm2. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa and the velocity is 250 m/s. neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an 1.008 kj/kg k, determine ideal gas with constant cp = (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm2
