A town is planning on using the water flowing through a river at a rate of 4.9 106 kg/s to carry away the heat from a new power plant. Environmental studies indicate that the temperature of the river should only increase by 0.50° C. The maximum design efficiency for this p...

thank you...what I originally did was use the wrong specific heat for iron.
