Answer:
Explanation:
50 HP = 50 x 746 watt
= 37300 watt
= 37300 J /s
heat produced in one hour = 60 x 60 x 37300 J
= 134280 x 10³ J
latent heat of vaporization = 2260 x 10³ J / kg .
for evaporation of water of mass 1 kg , 2260 x 10³ J of heat is required .
kg of water being evaporated by boiler per hour
= 134280 x 10³ / 2260 x 10³
= 59.41 kg
rate of production of steam
= 59.41 kg / hr .
