Water at 65 oF and 20 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. If both streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream.

Explanation:

Equation for mass balance is as follows.

    .......... (1)

Equation for energy balance is as follows.

Hence,       ......... (2)

When we combine both equations (1) an d(2) will be as follows.

or,      

Hence, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

                            = 594.6 Btu/lbm

Therefore,      

And,      

                           =

                           = 0.415

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
