Q14//A surface condenser receives exhaust steam at 0.14 bar from an engine developing 180 kW. The circulating water enters the condenser at 15°C and leaves at 40°C. The final temperature of the condenser steam is 50°C. If the engine consumes 9 kg of steam per kW per hour, determine the quality of the steam entering the condenser, if the weight of circulating water per hour is 31600 kg. (Answer: x=0.85) *****
