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.
Question
Transcribed Image Text:In a binary geothermal power plant,
the working fluid isobutane is to be
condensed by air in a condenser at
75°C (h = 255.7 kJ/kg) at a rate of
0.95 kg/s. Air (cp= 1005 J/kg. C) enters
fg
the condenser at 21°C and leaves at
29°C. The heat transfer surface area
based on the isobutane side is 26.9
m. What is the overall heat transfer
coefficient (W/m².k)? Use the LMTD
method and assume a correction factor
of 0.95 Select one:
