Question
An art school specializes in metal sculptures and to save money and space they don't have a
metal workshop with traditional power tools and cutting torches. To make the sculptures the
students gather scrap metal and use a specialized steamer that heats the already thin metal
enough to easily bend and can be used inside around other flammable materials as it is steam
powered. The steamer creates the steam and then heats it through a funnel from 100 to 450 °C.
Use steam tables to find what the heat input in Watts (W) of the funnel is if a continuous stream
of steam at a rate of 50 kg/s undergoes the heating process at a constant pressure.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The streamer creates the steam at a pressure of 0.1 bar from 100 to 450 oC. and the mass flow rate of steam is 50 kg/sec.

From the Steam Table determine the properties of steam,

At P=0.1 bar,Ts=99.606 °C,At P=0.1 bar and T=100 °CSpecific enthalpy of steam, h1=2675.8 kJ/kgAt P=0.1 bar and T=450 °CSpecific enthalpy of steam, h2=3382.8 kJ/kg
