QUESTION 22
17 kg/min ammonia vapor enters a melter at 32°C and 12.2 atm and exits as ammonia liquid also at 32°C and 12.2 atm. 72 kg/min of an ice and water mixture enters the melter at 0°C and 1 atm and exits as liquid water at 10 °C and 1 atm. Calculate the inlet stream ice fraction. Write the fraction with two significant figures. example 0.25.
