Question: Problem 0 5 . 1 5 4 - Heat exchanger In large steam power plants, the feedwater is frequently heated in a closed feedwater heater

Problem 05.154- Heat exchanger
In large steam power plants, the feedwater is frequently heated in a closed feedwater heater by using steam extracted from the turbine at some stage. Steam enters the feedwater heater at 1 MPa and 195.0C and leaves as saturated liquid at the same pressure. Feedwater enters the heater at 2.5 MPa and 50C and leaves at 10C below the exit temperature of the steam. Determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the extracted steam and the feedwater. The enthalpies of steam and feedwater are h1=2815.576kJkg,h2=762.51kJkg,T2=179.9C,h3=209.34kJkg, and h4=718.55kJkg.(Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
The ratio of the mass flow rates is
