A power plant needs to evaporate 1750.0 lbm/h of water at 90.0 F at 1 atm. Utility superheated steam at 1400 F and 40 bar is available, but the steam cannot drop below 20 bar and 700 F. Determine the amount of superheated steam required to accomplish the evaporation for a superheated steam outlet of 700 F and 20 bar. Assume no heat losses and use the steam tables to determine enthalpies. Be sure to draw a process flow diagram and label the mass flows and enthalpies of all four streams (inlet superheated steam, outlet superheated steam, inlet water stream, outlet evaporated water stream) (5 points) Parta) Use the steam tables to determine the specific enthalpies of the four streams. The reference for the enthalpies should be water at the triple point. You may interpolate in Tables B6. and B.7, and can also use external, automated sources. (10 points) Part b) Determine the amount of superheated steam required to accomplish the evaporation for a superheated steam outlet of 700 F and 20 bar. Assume no heat losses and use the steam tables to determine enthalpies. (10 points)
