a. Two streams of water are mixed to form the feed to a boiler. Process data are as follows: 120 kg/min at 30 °C 175 kg/min at 65 °C 17 bar (absolute) Feed A Feed B Boiler pressure The exiting stream emerges from the boiler through a 6 cm ID pipe. Calculate the required heat input to the boiler in kJ/min if the emerging stream is saturated at the boiler pressure. Neglect the kinetic energy of the liquid inlet streams.

Question
a. Two streams of water are mixed to form the feed to a boiler. Process data are as
follows:
120 kg/min at 30 °C
175 kg/min at 65 °C
17 bar (absolute)
Feed A
Feed B
Boiler pressure
The exiting stream emerges from the boiler through a 6 cm ID pipe. Calculate the
required heat input to the boiler in kJ/min if the emerging stream is saturated at the
boiler pressure. Neglect the kinetic energy of the liquid inlet streams.
