Answer

$T_4=206.11\ °C$ $\dot{Q}_w=97.26\ kW$

Work Step by Step

From tables A-4 and A-5: Water inlet ($ T_1=15°C,\ x_1=0$): $h_1=62.98\ kJ/kg$ Steam outlet ($P_2=2\ MPa, x_2=1$): $h_2=2798.3\ kJ/kg$ The combined energy balance: $\dot{m}_1h_1+\dot{m}_3h_3=\dot{m}_1h_2+\dot{m}_3h_4+\dot{Q}$ Since $h_4=h_3+c_p(T_4-T_3),\ \dot{m}_3=15\dot{m}_1,\ \dot{Q}=0.1\dot{m}_3(h_3-h_4)$ $h_2-h_1=13.5c_p(T_3-T_4)$ Given $c_p=1.045\ kJ/kg.K,\ T_3=400°C$: $T_4=206.11\ °C$ Since $\dot{m}_3=15\dot{m}_1,\ \dot{m}_3=32\ kg/min$ $\dot{m}_1=0.0356\ kg/s$ $\dot{Q}_w=\dot{m}_1(h_2-h_1)=97.26\ kW$
