(a)
Interpretation:
The temperature of the superheated steam is to be calculated immediately after the rapid adiabatic expansion.
Concept introduction:
A flowchart is the complete representation of a process through boxes or other shapes which represents process units and arrows that represents the input and output of the process. The flowchart must be fully labelled to infer important data about the process involved.
In a system, a conserved quantity (total mass, mass of a particular species, energy or momentum) is balanced and can be written as:
Here, ‘input’ is the stream which enters the system. ‘Generation’ is the term used for the quantity that is produced within the system. ‘Output’ is the stream which leaves the system. ‘Consumption’ is the term used for the quantity that is consumed within the system. ‘Accumulation’ is used for the quantity which is builds up within the system.
All the equations which are formed are then solved simultaneously to calculate the values of the unknown variables.
The equation for energy balance is:
Here,

Interpretation:
The observation about the formation of the white plume and the estimated temperature at this point is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Saturated steam is the steam vaporized with little heat at its boiling point. Above this saturation temperature, the steam becomes superheated.
When steam at higher temperature is cooled rapidly in contact with a surface then the formation of tiny water droplets takes place on that surface which is called mist.

A process has been proposed whereby an ideal gas is taken from P 10 bar and T = 300 K to P = 1 bar and T = 500 K in a closed system. During the process the system (ideal gas) does 1,000 kJ of work and receives 5,430 kJ of heat from the surroundings. The temperature of the surroundings is constant at 300 K.
