In large steam power plants, the feedwater is frequently heated in a closed feedwater heater by using steam extracted from the turbine at some stage. Steam enters the feedwater heater at 1 MPa and 200°C and leaves as saturated liquid at the same pressure. Feedwater enters the heater at 2.5 MPa and 50°C and leaves at 10°C below the exit temperature of the steam. Determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the extracted steam and the feedwater.

Question

In large steam power plants, the feedwater is frequently
heated in a closed feedwater heater by using steam
extracted from the turbine at some stage. Steam enters the
feedwater heater at 1 MPa and 200°C and leaves as saturated
liquid at the same pressure. Feedwater enters the heater at
2.5 MPa and 50°C and leaves at 10°C below the exit temperature
of the steam. Determine the ratio of the mass flow
rates of the extracted steam and the feedwater.
