(a) A large electrical power facility produces 1600 MW of “waste heat,” which is dissipated to the environment in cooling towers by warming air flowing through the towers by 5.00ºC5 . \text{00}º\text{C}. What is the necessary flow rate of air in m3/s\text{m}^{3} /\text{s}? (b) Is your result consistent with the large cooling towers used by many large electrical power plants?
