Consider a vessel containing steam at 180 °C. The initial steam quality is 0.5 and the initial volume of the vessel is 1 m3. The vessel loses heat at a constant rate q̇ under isobaric conditions so that the quality of steam reduces to 0.1 after 10 hours. The thermodynamic properties of water at 180 °C are (subscript g: vapor phase; subscript f: liquid phase):
specific volume: vg=0.19405 m3/kg, vf=0.001127 m3/kg;
specific internal energy: ug=2583.7 kJ/kg, uf=762.08 kJ/kg;
specific enthalpy: hg=2778.2 kJ/kg, hf=763.21 kJ/kg.
The rate of heat loss q̇ (in kJ/hour) is ______ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
Correct : 825
