Dry satutared steam at a pressure of 1.6 Mpa (gauge) passes through a pipe of length 8m.

The rate of heat loss from the pipe is 120 W/m. The pipe is sloped so that condensate collects at the end and passes through a steam trap to the condensate receiver. Determine the mass of condensate passing per hour through the steam trap. Note: The mass flow of condensate is independent of the mass flow of steam.
