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.

A double pipe heat exchanger is to be designed to cool 5 gal/min of hot oil from 250°F to 120°F using 10 gal/min of cooling water available at 70°F. The heat exchanger is to consist of sections of 0.75 inch 16 BWG copper tubing inside 1.5 inch 16 BWG tubing; the water flows in the annular space. The shell-side heat transfer coefficient for this system is known to be 737 Btu/hr×ft2×°F. a) Estimate the required length of the countercurrent exchanger,...

A 200 litre tank initially contains water at 100 kPa and a quality of 1%. Heat is transferred to the water, thereby raising its pressure and temperature. At a pressure of 2 MPa, a safety valve opens, and saturated vapour at 2 MPa flows out. The process continues, maintaining 2 MPa inside until the quality in the tank is 90%, then stops. Determine the total mass if water that flowed out and the total heat transfer. *I’ve seen others have...

Boil water in a bowl and cool in a room. The air temperature in the room is increasing linearly according to the function Ta (t) = 22 + 0.015t (t in minutes, T in ° C). Assume that Newton's Law of Cooling is satisfied: the rate of change of water temperature is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the environment. We take the water temperature after 8 minutes and find that it...
