EXAMPLE 12.2-1. Heating of Fermentation Medium A liquid fermentation medium at 30°C is pumped at a rate of 2000 kg/h through a heater, where it is heated to 70°C under pressure. The waste-heat water used to heat this medium enters at 95°C and leaves at 85°C. The average heat capacity of the fermentation medium is 4.06 kJ/kg · K, and that for water is 4.21 kJ/kg · K (Appendix A.2). The fermentation stream and the wastewater stream are separated by a metal surface through which heat is transferred and they do not physically mix with each other. Make a complete heat balance on the system. Calculate the water flow and the amount of heat added to the fermentation medium assuming no heat losses. The process flow is given in Fig. 12.2-1.
