Combined separating and throttling calorimeter is used to find out dryness fraction of steam, following readings were taken: Main pressure = 12 bar abs. Mass of water collected in separating calorimeter = 2 kg. Mass of steam condensed in throttling calorimeter = 20 kg Temperature of steam after throttling calorimeter = 110°C Pressure of steam after Throttling = 1 bar abs. Assume Cp of steam = 2.1 kJ/kg K. Calculate dryness fraction.
