4. Steam at a pressure of 28 kPa is passed into a condenser and it leaves as condensate at a temperature of 59 °C. Cooling water circulates through the condenser at a rate of 45 kG/min. It enters at 15 °C and leaves at 30 °C. If the steam flow rate is 1.25kG/min. determine the dryness fraction of the steam as it enters the condenser.
