A wall 0.12 m thick having a thermal diffusivity of 1.5 × 10-6 m2/s is initially at a uniform temperature of 97°C. Suddenly one face is lowered to a temperature of 20°C, while the other face is perfectly insulated. Use the explicit finite-difference technique with space and time increments of 30 mm and 300 s to determine the temperature distribution at at 45 minutes.

An open feedwater heater operates at steady state with liquid entering at inlet 1 with t? = 40°c and pl = 1 .2 mpa. water vapor att2-200°c and p2 = 1.2 mpa enters at inlet 2. saturated liquid water exits with a pressure of pa 1.2 mpa. neglect heat transfer with the surroundings and all kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of steam at inlet 2 if the mass flow rate of liquid water at inlet 1 is given as 2 kg/s.
