saturated steam at 300 C is used to heat countercurrently
flowing stream of methanol vapor from 65C to 260 C in and adiabatic
heat exchanger. The flow rate of the methanol is 5500 standard
liters per minute, and the steam condenses and leaves the heat
exchanger as liquid water at 90 C.
A) calculate the required flow rate of the entering steam in
m^3/min.
B) Calculate the rate of heat transfer from the water to the
methanol (kW).

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.

Saturated water vapor leaves a steam turbine at a flow rate of
1.47 kg/s and a pressure of 0.51 bar. The vapor is to be completely
condensed to saturated liquid in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger

thin-walled tubes at 17oC and is to leave at 57.6
oC. Assuming an overall heat transfer coefficient of
2000 W/m2K, determine the required heat exchanger

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...
