Please provide detailed formula to solve. Thank you.
2. The figure below shows a gas-cooled fast breeder reactor. Helium enters the steam generator at a temperature of 640°C with a flow rate of 1x10 kg/h, and leaves at a temperature of 330°C. Liquid water enters the steam generator at 40°C and 21 MPa and leaves as superheated steam at 550°C and 20 MPa. The water inlet pipe has a 0.1 m diameter, and the steam exit pipe is 0.18 m in diameter and 6 m above the inlet. Heat losses can be neglected, and helium can be treated as an ideal gas with the following properties: R = 2077.1 J/kg-K and y = 1.667.
