Abstract

The growing energy demand in developing countries such as India has led to the growth and development of electricity generating fossil fuel and nuclear power stations that withdraw large quantities of water for cooling purpose. The efficiency of electric power stations is generally between 30 and 35%, which results in a large amount of waste heat being rejected to cooling water in the process of steam condensation.
