An industrial facility needs a flow of 100 gpm of hot water at 180°F, 50 psia. Two designs are being considered to make the hot water. In Design 1, the hot water is produced by injecting steam into an insulated mixing chamber through which the water passes. The water enters the chamber at 50°F, 50 psia. Steam is injected into the chamber at 325°F, 50 psia. The hot water leaves at the required flow rate and temperature. For this system determine

  1. The mass flow rate of the water entering the chamber (lbm/h)
  2. The mass flow rate of the steam injected into the chamber (lbm/h)
  3. The exergy destruction rate in the chamber (Btu/h)
  4. The exergetic efficiency of the chamber

The second design, Design 2, the water is heated in a heat exchanger with a stream of hot liquid benzene that is available from another process in the facility. The heat exchanger is a parallel flow configuration with a pinch point temperature difference of 10°R. The water enters the heat exchanger at 50°F and leaves at the required flow rate and temperature. The hot benzene enters the heat exchanger at 225°F. For this system determine,

  • e. The required mass flow rate of the benzene (lbm/h)
  • f. The exergy destruction rate in the heat exchanger
  • g. The exergetic efficiency of the heat exchanger
  • h. The effectiveness of the heat exchanger

An 850-MW Rankine cycle operates with turbine inlet steam at 1200 psia and 1000°F and condenser pressure at 1 psia. There are three feedwater heaters placed optimally as follows: (a) the high-pressure heater is of the closed type with drains cascaded backward; (b) the intermediate-pressure heater is of the open type; (c) the low- pressure heater is of the closed type with drains pumped forward. Each of the turbine sections has the same polytropic efficiency of 90 percent. The pumps...

Hot water enters a counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger at 180F with a velocity of 5 ft/s. Cold water at 80F flows at 3 ft/s in the outer section of the exchanger. The diameter of the inner pipe is 1 inch, the pipe wall thickness is 1/8", and the outer pipe diameter is 2 inches. The overall heat transfer coefficient times area per unit length UA/L = 150 Btu/hr-ft-F. If the exchanger is 16 feet long, what is the exit temperature...

Atmosphric air at 40 F and 50% relative humidity enters the heating section of an airconditioning device at a volumetric flow rate of 100ft^3/min. Water vapor is added to the heated air to increase the relative humidity to 55%. The temperature after the heating section is 72F and the temperature at the exit is 74F. Using the appropriate fomulas: a) determine the rate of the heat transfer in Btu/min. b) determine the mass flow of water vapor in lbm/min.
