Three return steam lines in a chemical processing plan enter a collection tank operating at a steady state at 1 bar. Steam enter

s inlet 1 with flow rate of 0.8 kg/s and a quality of 0.9. Steam enters inlet 2 with flow rate of 2kg/s at 200 degrees C. Steam enters inlet 3 with flow rate 1.2 kg/s at 95 degrees C. Steam exits the tank at 1 bar. The rate of heat transfer from the collection tank is 40 kW. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine for the steam exiting the tank:(a)Mass flow rate in kg/s (b) the temperature in degrees C.

Answer:

a. 4kg/s

b. 99.97 °C

Explanation:

Hello,

a. The resulting mass balance turns out into:

F_1+F_2+F_3=F_{out}\\F_{out}=0.8kg/s+2kg/s+1.2kg/s=4kg/s

b. Now, the energy balance is:

F_1h_1+F_2h_2+F_3h_3-Q_{out}=F_{out}h_{out}

In such a way, the first enthalpy is taken as a liquid-vapor mixture at 1 bar and 0.9 quality, it means:

h_1=hf(1bar)+xhfg(1bar)\\h_1=419.06kJ/kg+0.9*2256.5kJ/kg=2449.91kJ/kg

Second enthalpy is taken by identifying that stream as an overheated vapor at 1 bar and 200 °C, thus, the resulting enthalpy is:

h_2=2875.5kJ/kg

Then, the third enthalpy is taken by considering that at 95°C and 1 bar the water is a saturated liquid, thus:

h_3=hf(95^0C)=398.09kJ/kg.

Now, by solving for h_{out}, we've got:

h_{out}=\frac{0.8kg/s*2449.91kJ/kg+2kg/s*2875.5kJ/kg+1.2kg/s*398.09kJ/kg-40kW}{4kg/s} \\h_{out}=\frac{8148.612kJ/s}{4kg/s} \\h_{out}=2037.153kJ/kg

Finally, by searching for that value of enthalpy, one sees that at 1 bar, the exiting stream is a liquid-vapor mixture that is at 99.97 °C and has a 72%- quality.

(NOTE: all the data was extracted from Cengel's book 7th edition).

Best regards.

Why would a robot process something faster than a human
pantera1 [17]
A robot is a machine. It is often, or almost always, automatic, which means that it is able to perform activities on its own without the aid of external variables, like humans. It moves in the way that it was originally programmed, or designed to act. These actions are described as 'intents' of its own.
