An air-to-air recovery unit uses a cross-flow heat exchange with both fluids unmixed and an air flow rate of 0.75 kg/s on both sides. The hot air enters at 400 C while the cool air enters at 20 C. Calculate the exit temperatures of (a) the hot air and (b) the cool air for U = 45 W/m2-K and a total heat exchanger area of 25 m2.
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.
