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.

A parallel flow heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from hot water at 80oC, flowing at 5 L/min to cold water at 15oC which is flowing at a rate of 15 L/min. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 2000 W/m2oC and the area is 0.2m2. Calculate the heat transfer rate, the outlet temperature of the cold water.

Oil enters a counterflow heat exchanger at 600 K with a mass flow rate of 10 kg/s and exits at 350 K. A separate stream of liquid water enters at 20°C, 5 bar. Each stream experiences no significant change in pressure. Stray heat transfer with the surroundings of the heat exchanger and kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. The specific heat of the oil is constant, c = 2 kJ/kg · K. If the designer wants to ensure...
