A steam seperator seperates a 6 MPa saturated steam mixture into two streams whose pressure is the same as at the inlet. One seperated stream is the saturated liquid mixture portion of the inlet mixture and the other the saturated vapor portion. The steam mixture enters this seperator through a 1 m-diameter pipe with a velocity of 20 m/s and specific volume of 0.0215 m3-kg-1. The seperated liquid stream leaves at 10 m-s-1 and the saturated vapor leaves at 10 m-s-1
a)What is the mass flow rate at the steam mixture inlet? (in kg-s-1)
b)What fraction of the inlet flow rate is the saturated liquid outlet flow rate?
c) What is the area of the saturated vapor outlet stream?
