EXAMPLE 3
Liquid at temperature To flowing into a well mixed tank at a volumetric flowrate, Fo is
heated by steam flowing through the steam coil arrangement at Q (energy/time). The
heated fluid is withdrawn at the same volumetric rate as the inlet stream at
temperature T. By using the standard notation for tank volume, V; liquid density, ρ;
specific heat, Cp;and latent heat of vaporization of steam,λ;
