Heat exchangers exchange only heat and not mass (fluid does not mix). The working fluid is water vapor that comes from a boiler and serves to heat cold water. Suppose that in this hypothetical application above, the water vapor enters at 500 kPa and 300 °C through the “pipe inlet” (see figure) and so is used to heat the cold water, which enters in the opposite direction through the “hull inlet” ” at 15 °C and goes to the “hull exit” exiting at 75 °C. How much steam per kg of liquid water is needed as long as the steam does not condense?
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.
