Example 15.1.1 [2] ts s

Water at a state (Pw, tw) is injected into a steam flow at a state (Ps, ts) , in an isobaric process (at Ps),
Isobaric process
to a temperature slightly above the saturation temperature (tsat at Ps). For example, some 5 K above it (state rs).

Steam supply Ps = 100 kPa Thermal balance

Hs + Hw = Hsr Ps
Ps = 1 bar ts = 170 ºC
ts = 170 ºC hs = h_pt hs * ms + hw * mw = (ms + mw)*hrs
(tsat at Ps) + 5 K rs
ms = 60000 kg/h hs = 2816 kJ/kg ( hs - hrs)* ms = mw * (hrs -hw)
tsat_ps = tsat_P mw = ( hs - hrst)* ms / (hrs -hw) (tsat at Ps)
tsat_ps = 100 ºC
Cooling water supply Water mass flow rate s kJ/(kg*K)
Pw = 30 bar Pw = 3000 bar hs = 2816 kJ/kg
tw = 95 ºC tw = 95 ºC hrs = 2681 kJ/kg
hw = h_pt ms = 16.67 Kg/s
hw = 400 kJ/kg hw = 400 kJ/kg
Required steam conditions mw = 0.99 kg/s
Psr = 0.9 bar Prs = 90 kPa mw = 3568 kg/h
tsr = tsat + 5 ºC tsat = tsat_P
tsat = 97 ºC Total steam supplied
tsr = 102 ºC mstot = ms + mw
hrs = h_pt ms = 60000 kg/h
