Steam enters a horizontal 15-cm-diameter pipe as a saturated vapor at 5 bar with a velocity of 10 m/s and exits at 4.5 bar with a quality of 95%. Heat transfer from the pipe to the surroundings at 300K takes place at an average outer surface temperature of 400 K. For operation at steady state, determine

(a) the velocity at the exit, in m/s.

(b) the rate of heat transfer from the pipe, in kW.

(c) the rate of entropy production, in kW/K, for a control volume comprising only the pipe and its contents.

(d) the rate of entropy production, in kW/K, for an enlarged control volume that includes the pipe and enough of its immediate surroundings so that heat transfer from the control volume occurs at 300 K.

Saturated liquid water at 1 MPa enters a D = 5 cm pipe at a rate...

Saturated liquid water at 1 MPa enters a D = 5 cm pipe at a rate of m(dot) = 2 kg/s. Heat is transferred to the water at a rate of Q(dot) = 5000 kW. The exit is at 1 MPa pressure. (a) Neglecting kinetic energy, calculate the temperature at the pipe exit. (ans = 400◦C) (b) Using your answer in a), calculate the exit velocity of the water. (ans = 312 m/s) (c) Based upon your answer, should kinetic...

Saturated water vapor at 1000 kPa is throttled to 100 kPa. The velocity of the steam remains constant through the process. Determine the exit temperature of the water vapor. I know this is already awnsered in a solution for 1st edition but can someone help me understand what they do and how they picked the numbers they did from some table to get the exit temperature?
