Homework Statement
A 1500kW heat engine operates at 25% efficiency. The heat energy expelled at the low temperature is absorbed by a stream of water that enters the cooling coils at 20 degrees C. If 60L flows across the coils per second, determine the increase in temperature of the water.
Homework Equations
mCdeltaT = Q
The Attempt at a Solution
0.75*(1500Kj/s)(1000J/1kJ)(s/60L)(kgdegreesC/4186J) = 4.48
The book says that it is 18 degrees C. The DA that I did cancels out correctly though.
Thanks.
