Liquid water at 35ºFis fed to a boiler operating at 10 bars and is converted at constant pressure to saturated steam. The steam is produced at a steady state flow rate of 600 lbm/hr. Assume that the kinetic energy of the liquid entering the boiler isnegligible, and that the steam is discharged from the boiler through a 1 ftpipe. a. Calculate ∆Ĥ (in units of Btu/lbm) for this process.
b. Calculate the heat input (Btu/hr) to meet the needed saturated steam production
