Question: Problem 2 : A boiler is filled with 1 8 k g water at an initial temperature of 2 0 C . Calculate the heat

Problem 2: A boiler is filled with 18kg water at an initial temperature of 20C. Calculate the heat
required Q in kJ for the following stages. Use the liquid water specific heat capacity cp=
84.968-0.0325TJgmol.K, where temperature T is in Kelvin. The evaporative heat for water at 1
atm and 100C, is H=2256kJkg. Use specific heat capacity cp=32.618+0.001922JJgmol.K
for steam, where T is in Kelvin.
a) To raise the liquid water temperature from 20C to 100C,1atm (5 points)
b) To boil all the water in the boilder from 100C liquid to 100C steam, 1 atm (2 points)
c) To raise the 100C steam to 200C at the same pressure, 1atm (3 points)
Problem 2a:
Your integration of Cp.dt needs to be corrected.
The units of Cp are in J/gmol K. Your final answer should be in the same units. Accordingly, you must convert 18kg of water to gmol when calculating heat required, Q.
Problem 2b:
There is no temperature change happening. There is only a phase change. In this case, the heat required will be Q = Evaporite Heat * m=2256*18
Problem 2c:
The units of Cp are in J/gmol K. Your final answer should be in the same units. Accordingly, you must convert 18kg of water to gmol when calculating heat required, Q.
 Problem 2: A boiler is filled with 18kg water at an
