Methane enters a heat exchanger at a volumetric flow rate of 135.0 m³/min, at an absolute pressure of 1.013 bar and temperature
of 5.0 °C. At these conditions, the specific enthalpy of methane is -45.181 kJ/kg. The methane leaves the heat exchanger at an
absolute pressure of 1.013 bar and temperature of 75.0 °C. The corresponding specific enthalpy at these conditions is
113.783 kJ/kg. The methane is heated by a stream of saturated steam entering the heat exchanger at 2.2 bar (absolute) and
leaving as a liquid at 52 °C. Find the volumetric flow rate of saturated steam into the heat exchanger by following the steps.
