Saturated liquid water is heated in a heat exchanger until it exits as a saturated liquid vapor mixture. Hot oil is used to heat the water. The hot oil enters the heat exchanger at 150 C and exits at 40 C. The mass flowrate of the hot oil is 10 kg/s and has a specific heat of 2.2 kJ/kg-C. The water enters the heat exchanger at 25 C and 100 kPa. The water leaves the heat exchanger as a saturated liquid vapor mixture at 100 kPa. The mass flowrate of the water is 1.5 kg/s. It is also know that the enthalpy of the water exiting the heat exchanger is 1718.2 kJ/kg. In the question that follows, select the answer that is closest to the true value. What is the quality of the water at the exit of the heat exchanger?

Question
Saturated liquid water is heated in a heat exchanger until it exits as a saturated liquid vapor mixture. Hot oil is used to
heat the water. The hot oil enters the heat exchanger at 150 C and exits at 40 C. The mass flowrate of the hot oil is 10
kg/s and has a specific heat of 2.2 kJ/kg-C. The water enters the heat exchanger at 25 C and 100 kPa. The water
leaves the heat exchanger as a saturated liquid vapor mixture at 100 kPa. The mass flowrate of the water is 1.5 kg/s.
It is also know that the enthalpy of the water exiting the heat exchanger is 1718.2 kJ/kg.
In the question that follows, select the answer that is closest to the true value.
What is the quality of the water at the exit of the heat exchanger?
