Steam enters a one-inlet, two-exit control volume at location (1) at 360°C, 100 bar, with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inlet pipe is round with a diameter of 5.2 cm. Fifteen percent of the flow leaves through location (2) and the remainder leaves at (3). For steady-state operation, determine the inlet velocity, in m/s, and the mass flow rate at each exit, in kg/s.

The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass flow rate = 2 kg/s

Diameter of inlet pipe = 5.2 cm

Fifteen percent of the flow leaves through location (2)  and the remainder leaves at (3)

The mass flow rate is

We need to calculate the mass flow rate at reach exit

Using formula of mass

We need to calculate the inlet velocity

Using formula of velocity

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

work: w = fd (given)

work done by chet   =50*1 = 50 j

work done by mika =40*2 = 80 j

work done by sara =30*1.5 = 45 j

work done by bill =60*0.5 = 30 j

students in order from the greatest amount of work done to the least is mika> chet> sara> bill

hence option (b) is correct.
