An Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) power plant built in Hawaii in 1987 was designed to operate between the temperature limits of 86oF at the ocean surface and 41 o F at a depth of 2100 ft. About 13,300 gpm of cold seawater was to be pumped from deep ocean through a 40-inch diameter pipe to serve as the cooling medium or heat sink. If the cooling water experiences a temperature rise of 6 o F and the thermal efficiency is 2.5 percent, determine the amount of power generated. Take the density of seawater to be 64 lbm/ft3 .
