Question
A 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.
