PLEASE SHOW WORK AND EXPLAIN HOW TO FIND ANSWER
(10 points) A feedwater heater is a rigid tank that has two inlets and one outlet. Steam enters one of the inlets at a pressure of 60 psia and a temperature of 400F. Feedwater enters the other inlet at a pressure of 60 psia and a temperature of 130F. The mass flow rate of feedwater into the heater is 3,000,000lbmh.
The two inlet streams mix inside the heater, causing the steam to condense and cool and causing the feedwater temperature to rise. Saturated liquid water at a pressure of 60 psia exits through the single outlet. The inner diameter of the outlet pipe is 24 in.
Heat transfer from the heater to the surroundings is negligible. The kinetic energies and potential energies at the inlets and at the outlet are all negligible. The heater is in steady-state operation.
Determine the following. Round your answers to three significant figures.
a. Circle one: Saturated vapor
Superheated vapor
Phase of the steam entering the heater
b. Circle one: Saturated liquid
Compressed liquid
Phase of the feedwater entering the heater
c. Btu/lbm Specific enthalpy of the steam entering the heater 1233.5
