What is the enthalpy change in the process? 2. Calculate the final temperature of the steam at atmospheric pressure 3. Suppose that the boiler cannot quite produce dry steam, but our next process, after the throttling, requires just dry steam. What is the minimum quality of steam the boiler must produce if, after throttling, the lower pressure steam is to be just dry? Answers. 1.

The condensing is being done by a water flow of 100 kg per minute entering at 10 degrees C Determine: 1. Temperature of the steam condensate((degrees C) 2. Total enthalpy lost by the steam(kJ/min) 3. Specific enthalpy of the outgoing water (kJ/kg) 4. Temperature of outgoing water(degrees C) For 3 and 4, do it two ways and see if the answers agree with each other. First method, use the principle of enthalpy lost by steam equals enthalpy gained by water. Then do an enthalpy balance......let the specific enthalpy of the out going water be hy and then equate enthalpy of all entering streams with all exiting streams.

Examine the liquid enthalpy and intemal energy data on page 4 of your hand-out. At any particular temperature, what sort of numerical differences do you see? What i the Teason for this size of difference, when compared to the differences in the vapour Properties at those temperatures? 2tn lecture, we proved that at |.1 megapascals, the sum of intemal energy changes and extemal work done was equal to the change in enthalpy(thus proving that this thing called cathalpy accounts for heat added by considering intemal energy changes and worl dvue on the surroundings by the system. : Now do the same calculation at 1.0%826bar; see if the relationship holds. 3.Use some of the basic data you looked up in (2) above to test the statement that Ikg of Water at 100 degrees C will increase it's volume about 1600 times when converted te steam at atmospheric pressure. 4.Does that 1600 number hold at the higher pressure of 1.1MPa?
