in of a light oil are to be heated from 20C to 100C (with zero vaporization) in an exchanger using 250 kPa steam of 90% quality. The heat losses to the surrounding air have been estimated to be 5% of the heat transferred from the condensing steam to the oil. If the steam condensate leaves at its saturation point, what mass of steam per hour will be used in the exchanger? For light oil, Specific gravity= 0.88 Specific heat= 2.00 kJ/kg-K For steam at 250 kPa, Saturated liquid: hf= 535.49 kJ/kg vf= 0.001067 m^3/kg

As a plant maintenance engineer, you are required to purchase a 3,000 L tank of liquid butane to heat a maintenance building during the winter. You are concerned about the tank rupture and the possibility of a vapour cloud explosion of all the butane. How far (in metres) must the tank be from the maintenance building to ensure that it will receive only partial demolition in the event of an explosion? The specific gravity of liquid butane is 0.6, and the energy of explosion for butane is 510 kcal/gm-mol. Assume the explosion efficiency is 10 % in this case.
