Determine the energy transport rate for the system


An open system has two mass flow inlets and one exit. The energy flow rates of the two inlets are 385 Btu/hr and 431 Btu/hr. The energy flow rate associated with the exit flow is 362 Btu/hr. The system is experiencing two mechanical power inputs of 4 hp and 5 hp. In addition, there is one electrical power output of 6 kW. The system is gaining heat from an external source at a rate of 300 Btu/min. It is simultaneously losing heat at a rate of 10,000 Btu/hr. Determine the energy transport rate for this system. Is the system gaining energy, losing energy, or is it operating in a steady state (i.e., no gain or loss)?
