A chilled-water heat-exchange unit is designed to cool 5 m3/s of air at 100 kPa and 30°C to 100 kPa and 18°C by using water at 8°C. Determine (i) the maximum water outlet temperature and (ii) the total power consumed in KW-h, if the heat exchanger operated non-stop for 21 days. Assume the mass flow rate of the water is 2 kg/s.
