A boiler has a mass flow rate of 3 tons/hour of feed water at a temperature of 28 C and a pressure of 1 atm. This water is pumped to a pressure of 30 atm assuming a constant temperature. Pump efficiency is 90%. The water leaving this pump is heated in an Economizer heat exchanger to its saturation point temperature in the saturated water phase? What is the rate of heat supplied by the Economizer to heat the pump exit feedwater to the above conditions

Question

A boiler has a mass flow rate of 3 tons/hour of feed water at a temperature of 28 C and a pressure of 1 atm. This water is pumped to a pressure of 30 atm assuming a constant temperature. Pump efficiency is 90%. The water leaving this pump is heated in an Economizer heat exchanger to its saturation point temperature in the saturated water phase? What is the rate of heat supplied by the Economizer to heat the pump exit feedwater to the above conditions

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The mass flow rate of water, m = 3 tons per hour

The temperature of water, T = 28 C

The pressure of water, P = 1 atm

The pressure at pump exit, P2 = 30 atm

The efficiency of pump = 90%
