Pr.2.1) Water is heated from 50 to 140°F (10 to 60°C) by mixing saturated steam at 25 psia (175 kPa) with it. If hot water is required at 200 gal/min (12 L/s), what is the steam rate in pounds per hour (kilograms per second)?

Step 1
1 gallon = 3.78541 liters 200 gallons/min = 200 * 3.78541 liters/min = 757.082 liters/min = 757.082/60 liters/s = 12.618 liters/s Show more…

Steam at $500 \mathrm{kPa}, 300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is used to heat cold water at $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ for a domestic hot water supply. How much steam per kilogram of liquid water is needed if the steam should not condense?
Feedwater at $4000 \mathrm{kPa}$ is heated at a rate of $6 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$ from $200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $245^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in a closed feedwater heater of a regenerative Rankine cycle. Bleed steam enters this unit at $3000 \mathrm{kPa}$ with a quality of 90 percent and leaves as a saturated liquid. Calculate the rate at which bleed steam is required.
five hundred kcal of heat is added to 2-kg of water at 80⁰C. how much steam is produced?
