- Steam enters the superheater of a boiler at a pressure of 20 bar (hf = 909kJ/kg, hfg = 1890kJ/kg, vg = 0.09957 m3/kg) and dryness of 0.98 and leaves at the same pressure at a temperature of 350°C (h = 3138 kJ/kg, v = 0.1386 m3/kg).. Find the percentage increase in volume due to drying and superheating.arrow_forwardA surface condenser receives steam with a dryness fraction of 0.9 from a turbine. The mass flow rate of the steam into the condenser is 5000kg/hr and the condenser pressure is 16.4kPa. Condensate leaves the condenser with a temperature of 41.6°C. Air leaks into the condenser at a rate of 18.91kg/hr. Determine the volume of air removed per hour (m3/hr) accurate to 4 decimal places assuming that a wet pump is used in the condenser. Gas constant for air can be taken as 0.287 kJ/kg.K. HINT: Only numbers in the answer field, no units to be entered Question 1 of 22arrow_forward0.2 A condenser condenses 2700kg steam per hour while air leaks into It at 2.2kg/hr. The condensate and air suction spout temperatures are 32.9°C. The barometer and vacuum gauge readings are 765mmHg and 690mmHg respectively. The condenser uses 125.55M9 of cooling water per hour to condense steam with a dryness fraction of 0.86 and the air pump has a volumetric efficiency of 82.5%. Take R = 0.287kJ/kgK for air and calculate: %3D 6.2.1 the temperature rise of the cooling water (10.85°C); 6.2.2 the air pump capacity in m2/min (0.78m3³/min).arrow_forward
