Question: Preblem 2 ( 2 5 points ) As a measure to increase the efficiency of a steam - based power cycle, a portion of water

Preblem 2(25 points)
As a measure to increase the efficiency of a steam-based power cycle, a portion of water vapor is routed from the turbine to an open feedwater heater to preheat liquid water prior to entering a boiler. Liquid water enters the heater at a peessure of p1=15bar and T1=30C Steam enters the heater at the same pressure and at T2=400C and mixes with the water. A saturated liquidvapor mixture leaves the heater at a quality x3=0.20.
a) Find the temperature of the exiting mixturc, T3.
b) What is the ratio of mass flow rate of steam to the total mass flow rate through the open feciwater heater fl2min2?
c) Plot states 1,2, and 3 on the P-v and T-v diagrams below
