Inside a boiler with a volume of 0.5 m, there is wet steam with a half volume of water at 140 kPa pressure. As a result of giving heat at constant pressure, after half of the water is vaporized, heat is continued until the pressure in constant volume is 1 MPa. Then, after giving heat at constant pressure, according to the temperature is 400 ° C; Show the temperature, pressure, volume, internal energy, enthalpy and dryness levels in a table during state changes.

b) Show the state changes in P-v and T-v diagram.
c) Find the work and heat transition after the state changes.
d) Find the required amount of fuel (natural gas, coal, fuel oil) for the heat given after the state changes by making the necessary assumptions.

Steam produced in a boiler is frequently “wet”—that is, it is a mist composed of saturated water vapor and entrained liquid droplets. The quality of a wet steam is defined as the fraction of the mixture by mass that is vapor. A wet steam at a pressure of 5.0 bar with a quality of 0.85 is isothermally “dried” by evaporating the entrained liquid. The flow rate of the dried steam is 52.5 m3/h. (a) Use the steam tables to determine...

A steam boiler of volume 2.3 m3 initially contained 1.7 m3 liquid water in equilibrium with 0.6 m3 of vapour at 100 kPa. The boiler is heated keeping the inlet and discharge valves closed. The relief valve is set to lift when the pressure in the boiler reaches 5500 kPa. Determine the amount of heat supplied to the contents in the boiler before the relief valve lifts.

A rigid, well-insulated tank contains wet steam (20:80 wt% liquid:vapor) at 200◦C. The wet steam is withdrawn from the tank until the fluid remaining in the tank is at 150◦C. The process is carried out slowly such that internal gradients are negligible inside the tank. Determine at the end of this process: (a) The pressure in the tank. (b) The mass fraction of vapor and liquid in the tank. (c) The fraction of total water (liquid and vapor) present initially...

Steam used to sterilize fermentation equipment is piped 20 m from a factory boiler room through a 6-cm-diameter tube. The surface temperature of the steam pipe is roughly constant at 118°C. Most of the length of the tube lies unprotected and exposed to the outside weather. The air temperature is 5°C and the wind speed is 7.5 m/s. The properties of air at 330 K are: Cp=1007 J/kg°C, kfb=0.0283 W/m°C, ρ=1.076 kg/m3, and µb=1.99∙10-5 kg/m∙s. Estimate rate of heat loss...
