In steam power plants, open feedwater heaters are frequently utilized to heat the feedwater by mixing it with steam bled off the turbine at some intermediate stage. consider an open feedwater heater that operates at a pressure of 1000 kpa. feedwater at 50°c and 1000 kpa is to be heated with superheated steam at 200°c and 1000 kpa. in an ideal feedwater heater, the mixture leaves the heater as saturated liquid at the feedwater pressure. determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the feedwater and the superheated vapor for this case.

Respuesta :

The feedwater heater is sketched below. 
Saturated liquidP3= 800 kPa
Compressed liquidP1= 800 kPaT1= 50 C
Superheated vaporP2= 800 kPaT2= 200 C
m3 = m1 + m2
Saturated liquidP3= 800 kPa

Looking on the table to determine the answer in the question you asked. And the answer is 3.73, in the formula on the picture.
