Three return steam lines in a chemical processing plant enter acollection tank operating at steady state at 5 bar. Steam entersinlet 1 with flow rate of 2 kg/s and quality of 0.9. Steam entersinlet 2 with flow rate of 2 kg/s at 200°C. Steam enters inlet 3with flow rate of 1.2 kg/s at 95°C. Steam exits the tank at 5 bar.The rate of heat transfer from the collection tank is 40 kW.Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine for thesteam exiting the tank:
(a) the mass flow rate, in kg/s.
(b) the temperature, in °C.
