Can you tell us your difficulty ?
m2=m3-m1
m2 =(m3*h3-m1*h1)/h2

Dear Akef is so easy:

M1+M2=M3
M1=84; M2? M3=126
M2=M3-M1
M2= 42 ton/h

dear all
already i uploadwd my problem parmeter on attached file
my question is:
1- inlet superheated steam 60 bar, 487 degc, 100T/HR
2-inlet injection water 70 bar,124degc, m2=???
3-out let steam 1.78 bar,140degc, m3=126 T/HR that is my demand to my process

akef,
I believe there is a mistake in your data. The mass balance leads to different results than the enthalpy (h) balance proposed by breizh. I find M2 close to 30 T/HR with the second method.
Moreover, are your pressures in bar gauge or bar absolute?
I advise you check your data twice before asking twice.

1. You are confusing the problem by over specifying your parameters.
2. From what I understand is that you purpose is to meet the LP steam demand of 126 tph
3. Then you should be asking what are m1 and m2 values that meet the demand
4. Since you have two equations and two unknowns, then you can solve the problem easily.

m1 = 97.6 tph
m2 = 28.4 tph
m3 = 126 tph
