The amount of heat removed by the cooling tower for each kilogram of spent steam.
Answer to Problem 11PEB
The amount of heat removed by the cooling tower for each kilogram of spent steam is
Explanation of Solution
To change the steam at
First is the heat required to lower the temperature of steam to
Write the expression for the total heat removed.
Here,
Write the expression for the heat removed to lower the temperature of steam.
Here,
Steam completely changes to water. Hence, the mass of water is same as the mass of steam.
Write the expression for the heat removed for phase change of steam.
