Preheating Air by Steam for Use in a Dryer. An air stream at 32.2 celsius is to be used in a dryer and is first preheated in a steam heater, where it is heated to 65.5 celsius. The air flow is 1000 kg mol/h. The steam enters the heater saturated at 148.9 celsius, is condensed and cooled, and leaves as a liquid at 137.8 celsius. Calculate the amount of steam used in kg/h.

Consider an air-cooled condenser in which a stream of R-134a enters at 12 bar and 60degC, and leaves as a saturated liquid at 12 bar, and air enters as a separate stream at 1 bar, 35degC and leaves at 1 bar, 45degC. The two streams do not mix but heat transfer from one stream to the other stream occurs at the rate of 6.94 kW. Determine (a) the mass flow rates for the R-134a and the air (kg/s), and (b)...

A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 560°C and expands to 1 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 17 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The net power output for the...

Saturated steam at a gauge pressure of 3.00 bar is to be used to heat a stream of ethane. The ethane enters a heat exchanger at 16°C and 1.5 bar gauge pressure at a rate of 895 m3/min and is heated at constant pressure to 93°C. The steam condenses and leaves the exchanger as a liquid at 24.0°C. The specific enthalpy of ethane at the given pressure is 941 kJ/kg at 16°C and 1073 kJ/kg at 93°C.   You may take...

Saturated water vapor leaves a steam turbine at a flow rate of 1.47 kg/s and a pressure of 0.51 bar. The vapor is to be completely condensed to saturated liquid in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger that uses city water as the cold fluid. The water enters the thin-walled tubes at 17oC and is to leave at 57.6 oC. Assuming an overall heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m2K, determine the required heat exchanger surface area and the water flow rate. cp,c...
