At a particular location a hot spring is available to provide a heat source for a vapor power cycle of a power station and not far away a melt water river from a glacier is available to provide a heat sink. the hot spring has a flow of 1500 liters/sec at 98 degree C and melt water river a flow of 5600 liters/sec at 1 degree C.

Design a vapor power cycle for an 8MW power station. You may assume 80 % isentropic efficiency in the turbine and pump with no pressure losses in the boiler and condenser. the boiler and consender should be designed as heat exchangers to input and remove heat from the working fluid. please reference your heat transfer textbook or similar resources for the heat exchanger design.

Attempt to minimize the environmental impact of the power plant by maximizing the efficiency. For this, you may use concepts learned in thermodynamics (reheat, superheat, feed waters heaters etc)

For uncertainty analysis, determine how a 5% variation in hot spring flow rate and melt water flow rate will affect the power output of the power station.
