in a steam power station , steam flows steadily through a 0.2 m diameter pipeline from the boiler to the turbine. at the boiler end ,the steam conditions are found to be: p=4MPa. at the turbine end, the conditions are found to be:p=3.5MPa. there is a heat loss of 8.5 from the pipeline. calculate the steam flow rate.
solution writing the steady flow energy equation for the control volume as shown in fig. 5.3
