Three return steam lines in a chemical processing plant enter a collection tank operating at steady state at 5 bar. Steam enters inlet 1 with flow rate of 2 kg/s and quality of 0.9. Steam enters inlet 2 with flow rate of 2 kg/s at 200°C. Steam enters inlet 3 with flow rate of 1.2 kg/s at 95°C. Steam exits the tank at 5 bar. The rate of heat transfer from the collection tank is 40 kW. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine for the steam exiting the tank:

(a) the mass flow rate, in kg/s.

(b) the temperature, in °C.

Consider a steam power plant operating on a simple ideal Rankine cycle in which the steam enters the turbine at 3 MPa and 350C and is condensed in the condenser at 75 kPa. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and sketch an appropriately labeled T-s diagram. Also compare this thermal efficiency to that a Carnot heat engine operating between these same two limits. The change in enthalpy across the pump = work done by the pump: h2-h1= v1(P2– P1)

A food processing plant makes soup in a continuous process with a steady flow of product into and out of a large kettle. The soup is maintained at a certain temperature by heating the kettle with a coil of steam pipes. The large size of the kettle means the entering product remains in the kettle for a long time. Draw a graphic and describe how the plant could use feedback, feedforward, and cascade control to maintain a constant temperature. Which...
