A stream of 70kg/hr superheated steam is used to heat 15kmol/hr nitrogen gas via a heat exchanger. The superheated steam at 350⁰C and 1 bar enters the heat exchanger and exits as saturated water liquid at the same pressure.The nitrogen gas is heated from 25^oC to 300^oC at constant pressure of 1atm.The heat exchanger is set up for countercurrent flow.

i)Draw and label the flowchart of the heat exchanger process by indicating all the input and output process variables.

ii)Determine the heat loss from the heat exchanger.

iii)If the saturated water liquid flows in a pipe with inner diameter of 2cm,estimate the rate of kinetic energy of the saturated water liquid.

iv)Propose one method to reduce heat loss.

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?
