When fermentation units are operated with high aeration rates, significant amounts of water can be evaporated into the air passing through the fermentation broth. Since fermentation can be adversely affected if water loss is significant, the air is humidified before being fed to the fermenter. Sterilized ambient air is combined with steam to form a saturated air–water mixture at 1 atm and 90°C. The mixture is cooled to the temperature of the fermenter (35°C), condensing some of the water, and the saturated air is fed to the bottom of the fermenter. For an air flow rate to the fermenter of 10 L/min at 35°C and 1 atm, estimate the rate at which steam must be added to the sterilized air and the rate (kg/min) at which condensate is collected upon cooling the air–steam mixture.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
