A well-insulated tank in a vapor power plant operates at steady state. Water enters at inlet 1 at a rate of 125lb/s at 14.7lbf/in^2. Make up water to replenish steam losses from the plant enters at inlet 2 at a rate of 10 lb/s at 14.7 lbf/in^2 and 60F. Water exits the tank at 14.7 lbf/in^2 Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine for the water exiting the tank (a) the mass flow rate, in lb/s. (b) the specific enthalpy, in Btu/lb (c) the temperature, in F
