    A hot water stream and cold water stream are mixed in a well-insulated chamber. The mass flow rate of the cold water stream is to be determined for a specified mixture temperature using mass and energy balances. Properties like enthalpy are provided. The mass and energy balance equations are written and solved for the cold water mass flow rate.

    6-78 A hot water stream is mixed with a cold water stream. For a specified mixture temperature, the mass
    flow rate of cold water is to be determined.
    Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 The mixing chamber is well-insulated so that heat loss
    to the surroundings is negligible. 3 Changes in the kinetic and potential energies of fluid streams are
    negligible. 4 Fluid properties are constant. 5 There are no work interactions.
    Properties Noting that T < Tsat @ 250 kPa = 127.41°C, the
    water in all three streams exists as a compressed liquid,
    which can be approximated as a saturated liquid at the T1 = 80qC
    ·
    given temperature. Thus, m1 = 0.5 kg/s
    h1 # hf @ 80qC = 335.02 kJ/kg H2O
    (P = 250 kPa)
    h2 # hf @ 20qC = 83.915 kJ/kg
    T3 = 42qC
    h3 # hf @ 42qC = 175.90 kJ/kg
    T2 = 20qC
    Analysis We take the mixing chamber as the system, ·
    m2
    which is a control volume. The mass and energy
    balances for this steady-flow system can be expressed
    in the rate form as
    Mass balance:

    m in  m out 'm systemÊ0 (steady) o m 1  m 2


    0  m 3

    Energy balance:

    E  E out 'E system©0 (steady) 0


    in



    Rate of net energy transfer Rate of change in internal, kinetic,
    by heat, work, and mass potential, etc. energies

    E in E out
    m 1h1  m 2 h2 m 3h3 (since Q W 'ke # 'pe # 0)

     2 gives
    Combining the two relations and solving for m

    m 1h1  m 2h2 m 1  m 2 h3
    h1  h3
    2
    m 1
    m
    h3  h2

    Substituting, the mass flow rate of cold water stream is determined to be

    m 2
    335.02  175.90 kJ/kg 0.5 kg/s 0.865 kg/s
    175.90  83.915 kJ/kg
