Answer:

Yes,If we use river water which is entering at 20⁰ C in the condenser then it is possible to maintain the pressure of 10 KPa in condenser.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes,If we use river water which is entering at 20⁰ C in the condenser then it is possible to maintain the pressure of 10 KPa in condenser.

The saturation temperature of steam is 45.81⁰ C at the pressure of 10 KPa which is higher than 20⁰C of river water. So river water at 20⁰C can be used to maintain the condenser pressure to 10 KPa.
