An open feedwater heater heats the feedwater by mixing it with hot steam. Consider an electrical power plantwith an open feedwater heater that mixes 0.1 lbm/s of steam at 10 psia and 200°F with 2.0 lbm/s of feedwater at 10 psia and 100°F to produce 10 psia and 120°F feedwater at the outlet. The diameter of the outlet pipe is 0.5 ft. Determine die mass If flow rate and feedwater velocity at the outlet. Would the outlet flow rate and velocity be significantly different if the temperature at the outlet were 180°F?
