10 E2) A beverage producing facility utilizes a natural gas boiler (fire tube) of 2.0 MW capacity for its
various process and heating needs. The boiler output is a saturated vapour at a pressure of 800 kPa . A
portion of the total steam is throttled to 200 kPa and goes to a hot water heater (mixing chamber),
where it mixes with a feedwater stream. The hot water heater produces 60C water at a rate of
2.5kgs, but it is uninsulated and has a heat loss of 20 kW (the energy equation might be useful to
analyze the mixing chamber). The feed water that is supplied to the boiler and hot water heater has a
line pressure of 200 kPa and a temperature of 10C.
a) Draw a simple system schematic and a T-h diagram to represent all relevant states/processes.
Determine:
b) the temperatures of the steam leaving the boiler and entering the water heater C;
c) the portion of steam used by the water heater kgs;
d) the percentage of boiler steam/energy diverted to the water heater [%].
