Question:

An insulated high-pressure electric water heater operates at steady state at a constant pressure of 10 MPa, supplying hot water at a mass flow rate of 10 kg/s. If the inlet temperature is 20oC and the exit temperature is 200°C, determine
(a) The electrical power consumption.
(b) The volume flow rate in L/min at the inlet.
(c) The volume flow rate in L/min at the exit.
(d) The rate of entropy generation in the heater. Use the PC model for water, neglect any pressure drop in the heater, and also neglect any change in ke or pe.
