Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.06 MPa with a quality of 0.9 and exits at the same pressure as saturated liquid. The steam mass flow rate is 1.6 kg/min. A separate stream of air with a mass flow rate of 100 kg/min enters at 30°C and exits at 60°C. The ideal gas model with c, = 1.005 kJ/kg-K can be assumed for air. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.

Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.06 MPa with a quality of 0.9 and exits at the same pressure
as saturated liquid. The steam mass flow rate is 1.6 kg/min. A separate stream of air with a mass flow rate of 100 kg/min enters at 30°C
and exits at 60°C. The ideal gas model with c, = 1.005 kJ/kg-K can be assumed for air. Kinetic and potential energy effects are
negligible.
Determine the temperature of the entering steam, in °C.
For the overall heat exchanger as the control volume, what is the rate of heat transfer, in kW.
