VALUES OF MIXTURE AT VARIOUS STATE POINTS

@ point 2

P2 = 10.7 bar

X2 = 0.98

T2 = 54℃

h2 = 330 KJ/Kg

@ point 3

h2 = h3 = 330 KJ/Kg

T3 = - 15℃

P3 = 2.4 bar

@point 4

P4 = 2.4 bar

T4 = - 15℃

h4 = 1450 KJ/Kg

QE = mr (h4 – h3)

3.5 = mr (1120)

mr = 3.125 gm/s
Using mass balance equation

ms = m w + mr

msXs = mwXw + mrXr

(mw + mr )Xs = mwXw + mrXr

(mw + 3.125) × 0.42 = mw × 0.38 + 3.125 × 0.98

mw = 43.75 gm/s

therefore , ms = 46.875 gm/s
