A steam with 45 atm and 90 degrees Celsius (enthalpy = 2500 kJ/kg) enter a heat exchanger. Water also enter this exchanger at 5 atm and 10 degrees Celsius (enthalpy = 250 kJ/kg). Both have a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s and 100% steam quality. What are the pressure and temperature values of the exiting stream? And what is the amount of heat released?
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.
