A heat exchanger is used to heat air. The air enters at 300 K with a flow rate of 5 kg/s. The air is heated by a separate stream of H2O that enters the heat exchanger at 300 kPa, saturated vapor and leaves as saturated liquid. If the H2O flow rate is 0.2 kg/s, determine the exit temperature of the air (K). Cpair=1.027 kJ/kgK. Note the air and H2O are separate streams. No mixing occurs.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
Hi I need asisstance with a thermo review problem, Thank you!
