Question: Question 7 : ( 2 0 % ) Liquid water at ( 1 5 ^ { circ } mathrm { C

Question 7: (20\%)
Liquid water at \(15^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated steam. Liquid water enters the chamber at the steam pressure at a rate of \(4.6\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) and the saturated steam enters at a rate of \(0.23\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\). The mixture leaves the mixing chamber as a liquid at \(45^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). If the surroundings are at \(15^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), determine (a) the temperature of saturated steam entering the chamber, (b) the exergy destruction during this mixing process, and (c) the second-law efficiency of the mixing chamber.
Hint: Assume 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. 3 Heat loss from the chamber is negligible.
