Question
A heat exchanger as shown in Figure 1 is used for an air conditioning system that is working through chilled water.
Hot air at 1 bar and 42 °C enters the heat exchanger at a volume flowrate of 1 m /s leaving at 21 °C. The chilled water
enters the heat exchanger at 4°C and 1.5 bar and leaves as warm water at 12 °C and same pressure. The heat
transfer from the outer surface of the heat exchanger is neglected. Similarly, the kinetic and potential energy
difference in both the air and water at the inlet and exit is negligible. Assume constant specific heat for both the
water and air. At steady-state operation, determine:
(a) The mass flow rate of the water, and
(b) The rate of heat transfer between the water and the air in kW.
