1) Water is heated by steam in a heat exchanger. The water comes in at .4 MPa and 10°C and leaves at 110°C. flow rate of the water is 2 kg/s. 0.5 kg of steam comes in at a pressure of 0.6 MPa at 300°C, determine the exit temperature and state of the steam and rate of condensation if any
In heat exchanger it is assumed that both side fluids don't mix. Also the pressure of fluid at inlet does not change. Like here the pressure of steam is 0.6 MPa throughout and of compressed water is 0.4 MPa. Properties are calculated based on these assumptions.
Steam at outlet is wet steam with 65.2% saturated water and remaining saturated steam at 158.83 ℃.
