Determine the amount of heat, which should be supplied to 2 kg of water at 25°C to convert it into steam at 5 bar and 0.9 dry. |

Answer» Mass of water to be converted to steam, mw = 2 kg Temperature of water, tw = 25°C Pressure and dryness fraction of steam = 5 bar, 0.9 dry At 5 bar : From steam tables hf = 640.1 kJ/kg ; hfg = 2107.4 kJ/kg Enthalpy of 1 kg of steam (above 0°C) h = hf + xhfg = 640.1 + 0.9 × 2107.4 = 2536.76 kJ/kg Sensible heat associated with 1 kg of water mw × cpw × (tw – 0) = 1 × 4.18 × (25 – 0) = 104.5 kJ Net quantity of heat to be supplied per kg of water = 2536.76 – 104.5 = 2432.26 kJ Total amount of heat to be supplied = 2 × 2432.26 = 4864.52 kJ. |
