A heat exchanger purchased by Hot Spot Manufacturing cost $24,000. The exchanger will save $4,500 in each of the next 10 years. Hot Spot will use SOYD depreciation over a six-year depreciable life. The declared salvage value is $3,000. It is expected the exchanger will be sold for the declared value. Hot Spot pays taxes at a combined rate of 42% and has a MARR of 8%. Was the purchased justified?

An insulated heat exchanger uses geothermal water to heat water for a chemical plant. Water enters the heat exchanger at a rate of 36 kg/s and is heated from 23 ∘∘C to 69 ∘∘C. The geothermal water enters the exchanger at a rate of 41.4 kg/s and at an initial temperature of 130 ∘∘C. The specific heat of the geothermal water is 4.31 kJ/(kg K). Determine the rate of heat transfer between the two streams and the rate of entropy...

A heat exchanger is used to heat acetone. 10 kg/min of steam enters at 550 C and 20.0 bar and leaves as saturated steam at 1 bar. The acetone enters at 20 C and leaves at 70 C. The heat exchanger loses 3000 kJ/min to the surroundings. The acetone is under a constant pressure of 1 atm. Determine the volumetric flow rate (L/h) of acetone leaving the heat exchanger.

Saturdated water vapor (steam) is commonly used as a heat source in heat exchanger applications. Why saturated vapor? Why saturated water vapor? In a plant of any reasonable size, several varieties of saturated steam are commonly available; for example, saturated steam at 4.5,9,17, and 33 bar. But the higher the pressure the lower the useful energy content (why?), and the greater the unit cost. Why then is higher-pressure steam used?
