The high pressure units on a steam plant operate at 10bar (gauge), and the condensate is sub-cooled by 9.5K. If the mass flow rate of condensate is 10 kg/s, use the provided steam tables to determine how much saturated steam at 1.5 bar this condensate could produce. Note it is sufficiently accurate for high pressure condensate, as in this question, to assume that the specific enthalpy is the same as for the saturated liquid at the same temperature.

A steam trap is a device to purge steam condensate from a system without venting uncondensed steam. In one of the crudest trap types, the condensate collects and raises a float attached to a drain plug. Whenthe float reaches a certain level, it “pulls the plug,” opening the drain valve and allowing the liquid to discharge. The float then drops down to its original position and the valve closes, preventing uncondensed steam from escaping.(a) Suppose saturated steam at 25 bar is used to heat 100 kg/min of an oil from 135°C to 185°C. Heat must be transferred to the oil at a rate of 1:00 x 10 4 kJ/min to accomplish this task. The steam condenses on the exterior of a bundle of tubes through which the oil is flowing. Condensate collectsin the bottom of the exchanger and exits through a steam trap set to discharge when 1200 g of liquid is collected. How often does the trap discharge?(b) Especially when periodic maintenance checks are not performed, steam traps often fail to close completely…
