Answer #1

In heat exchanger it is assumed that both side fluids don't mix. Also the pressure of fluid at inlet does not change. Like here the pressure of steam is 0.6 MPa throughout and of compressed water is 0.4 MPa. Properties are calculated based on these assumptions.

Steam at outlet is wet steam with 65.2% saturated water and remaining saturated steam at 158.83 ℃.

Air is heated by exhaust gases that flow in a heat exchanger, as shown in the figure. The heat gained by the air is measured as 320 kW and the inlet air temperature is 20°C. Exhaust gases inlet state is 527°C, 822 kJ/kg, 64 m/s while the exit state is 327°C, 607 kJ/kg, 78 m/s. If the flow rate of air is 10kg/s, determine the flow rate of exhaust gases and the exit temperature of air. [Cp-air = 1.005 kJ/kg...

Steady state water enters y 220ºF into a heat exchanger, leaves it at y 320ºF. The steam that leaves the exchanger is fed to a turbine from which it comes out with a quality of 90% and 1 psia. The exchanger uses air that enters 360ºF and 1 atm with a volumetric flow of 3000 ft3 / min, and exits at 280ºF at the same pressure. Determine the power in the turbine (Btu / min).

The condenser of a large steam power plant is a heat exchanger in which steam is condensed to liquid water. Assume the condenser to be a parallel flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger consisting of a single shell and 10,000 tubes, each executing two passes. The tubes are of thin wall construction with D = 30 mm and the steam condenses on their outer surface. The heat transfer rate that must be effected by the exchanger is Q = 2 × 10^9...

Two products enter an indirect contact heat exchanger that uses steam for heating. The first product which contains 15% solids enters at the rate of 3 kg/hr and at 10 °C. The second stream which contains 20% solids enters at the rate of 4 kg/hr and at 20 °C. Saturated steam at 140 °C enters the heat exchanger at 0.5 kg/hr with a quality of 95% and exits at 10% quality at 140 °C. The resulting mixture enters an indirect...

Consider a combined gas-steam power cycle. The topping cycle is a simple Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 15 ºC at a rate of 10 kg/s and the gas turbine at 950 ºC. The bottoming cycle is a reheat Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 6 MPa and 10 kPa. Steam is heated in a heat exchanger at a rate of 1.15 kg/s by the exhaust gases leaving the gas turbine,...

Cold water enters a counter flow heat exchanger at 20ºC at a rate of 10 kg/s, where it is heated by a hot water stream that enters the heat exchanger at 80ºC at a rate of 2 kg/s. Assuming the specific heat of water to remain constant at Cp=4.18 kJ/(kg.ºC), determine the maximum heat transfer rate and the outlet temperatures of the cold and the hot water streams.

Water is used to cool R-134a in the condenser of a heat exchanger. The refrigerant enters the counter-flow heat exchanger at 800 kPa, 80 0C and a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The refrigerant exits as a saturated liquid. Cooling water enters the condenser at 500 kPa and 18 0C and leaves the condenser at 30 0C. Determine the necessary mass flow rate of water. Each fluid is assumed to flow at constant pressure.

Saturated steam at a gauge pressure of 3.00 bar is to be used to heat a stream of ethane. The ethane enters a heat exchanger at 16°C and 1.5 bar gauge pressure at a rate of 895 m3/min and is heated at constant pressure to 93°C. The steam condenses and leaves the exchanger as a liquid at 24.0°C. The specific enthalpy of ethane at the given pressure is 941 kJ/kg at 16°C and 1073 kJ/kg at 93°C.   You may take...
