Question: 5 . 4 8 . A flue gas is cooled from 2 0 0 0 to 3 0 0 ( F ) , and the

5.48. A flue gas is cooled from 2000 to 300(F), and the heat is used to generate saturated
steam at 212(F) in a boiler. The flue gas has a heat capacity given by:
CPR=3.83+0.000306TR
Water enters the boiler at 212(F) and is vaporized at this temperature; its latent heat
of vaporization is 970.3(Btu)(lbm)-1.
(a) With reference to a surroundings temperature of 70(F), what is the lost work of
this process in (Btu)(lb mole )-1 of flue gas?
(b) With reference to a surroundings temperature of 70(F), what is the maximum
work, in (Btu)(lb mole
 5.48. A flue gas is cooled from 2000 to 300(F), and
