50. Ans. (b) 51. Ans. (a) Exp. The mass of steam blow off: The mass of steam in the vessel ( m1 ) =

V 0.9 = =4.167kg x1 v g 1 0.9 0.24

Enthalpy of steam before blowing off = h f1 +x1h fg1 =721+0.9 2047=2563KJ/kg. Enthalpy before blowing off = Enthalpy after blowing off

2563=605+x 2 2133 or x 2 =0.918

Now mass of steam in the vessel after blowing off

0.9 =2.122 kg 0.918 0.462 Mass of steam blown off (m) = m1 -m 2 =2.045kg. m2 =
Dryness fraction of steam in the vessel after cooling: It is constant volume cooling
