Steam enters a closed feed-water heater at 2 MPa and 300oC and leaves as saturated  liquid at the same pressure. On the other side, cold feed-water enters the heater at 3  MPa and 35oC and leaves 10oC below the exit temperature of the steam. Neglect any  heat losses from the outer surfaces of the heater and assume the surroundings to be at  25oC. Determine (a) the ratio of the mass flow rates of the extracted steam and the feedwater, (b) the exergy destruction for this process per unit mass of the feed-water, (c)  Investigate the effect of the state of the steam at the inlet of the feed-water heater on the  ratio of mass flow rates and the exergy destruction. Vary the extracted steam pressure  as: 200 kPa, 600 kPa, 1 MPa, 1.4 MPa and 2 MPa. Plot both the ratio of the mass flow  rates of the extracted steam and the feed-water heater and the exergy destruction for  this process per unit mass of feed-water as functions of the extraction pressure.
