Steam at 1.6 MPa and 250°C is being throttled by an adiabatic steam valve to reduce its pressure to 0.5 MPa before it is being delivered to a heat exchanger (shown in Figure 1). At valve outlet, the steam at18,000 kg/hour flow into an adiabatic heat exchanger as hot fluid. Cooling water from water tap is used to cool the steam by circulating the water through the tubes inside the heat exchanger. At heat exchanger outlet, the cooling water temperature increased by 20°C as it passing through the heat exchanger, and steam leaves the heat exchanger as saturated vapor at 200 kPa. Determine: (a) the temperature of the steam at heat exchanger inlet; and (b) the mass flow rate of the cooling water required. (Note: Use specific heat of cooling water at constant pressure as 4.18 kJ/kg, C)

In large gas-turbine power plants, air is preheated by the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger called the regenerator before it enters the combustion chamber. Air enters the regenerator at 1 MPa and 550 K at a mass flow rate of 800 kg/min. Heat is transferred to the air at a rate of 2700 kJ/s. Exhaust gases enter the regenerator at 140 kPa and 800 K and leave at 130 kPa and 600 K. Treating the exhaust gases as air, determine the mass flow rate of exhaust gases.

In large steam power plants, the feedwater is often heated in closed feedwater heaters, which are basically heat exchangers, by steam extracted from the turbine at some stage. Steam enters the feedwater heater at 1.6 MPa and 250°C and leaves as saturated liquid at the same pressure. Feedwater enters the heater at 4 MPa and 30°C and leaves 10°C below the exit temperature of the steam. Neglecting any heat losses from the outer surfaces of the heater, determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the extracted steam and the feedwater heater.
