A metal tube is used as a steady-state steam generator. Compressed liquid water at 5 MPa and 50.5°C enters the 30-mm diameter tube at a fow rate of 3.67 kg/s. Steam at 6.892 MPa and 500°C exits the tube. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the tube needed to sustain the steam generation. Type your answer in kW, 2 decimal places. Do not include the units in the box.
