Steam is leaving a pressure cooker whose operating pressure is 20 psia. It is observed that the amount
of liquid in the cooker has decreased by 0.6 gal in 45 minutes after the steady operating conditions are
established, and the cross-sectional area of the exit opening is 0.150in^(2). The properties of saturated
liquid water and water vapor at 20 psia are
v_(f)=0.01683f(t^(3))/(l)bm,v_(g)=20.093f(t^(3))/(l)bm,u_(g)=1081.8Bt(u)/(l)bm, and h_(g)=1156.2Bt(u)/(l)bm.
Determine the mass flow rate of the steam and the exit velocity.
The mass flow rate of the steam is
\times 10^(-3)lb(m)/(s)
The exit velocity is
| f(t)/(s).(Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
Steam is leaving a pressure cooker whose
