- 2 m^3/min 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 perhour will be used in the exchanger? For light oil, Specific gravity= 0.88Specific heat= 2.00 kJ/kg-KFor steam at 250 kPa,Saturated liquid: hf= 535.49 kJ/kgvf=0.001067 m^3/kgSaturated vapor: hg= 2716.8 kJ/kgvg= 0.7188 m^3/kgarrow_forwardTout=?

The length of the edge of the square plate is L= 0.1 m. All of the energy dissipated in the electrical components is transferred to water flowing over the top surface of the copper plate. The water flow over the plate in a direction that is parallel to the edge of the plate. A proturbence at the leading edge of the plate acts to trip the bounary layer into turbulent flow. The plate may be assumed to be isothermal since the thermal conductivity of copper is so high. The water velocity and temperature far from the plate are u» = 2.3 m/s and To = 22 °C. The water's thermophysical properties (for application in correlations for the Nusselt number) may be approximated as v = 0.96×10-6 m2/s, kf = 0.62 W/m-K, and Pr = 5.2. What is the temperature of the copper plate in °C?arrow_forward
