In a chemical plant, a certain chemical is heated by hot water supplied by a natural gas furnace. The hot water (Cp = 4180 J/kg.°C) is then discharged at 60 °C at a rate of 8 kg/min. The plant operates 8 h a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. The furnace has an efficiency of 78 percent, and the cost of the natural gas is $0.54 per therm (1 therm = 100,000 Btu = 105,500 kJ). The average temperature of the %3D %3D cold water entering the furnace throughout the year is 14 °C. In order to save energy, it is proposed to install a water-to-water heat exchanger to preheat the incoming cold water by the drained hot water. Assuming that the heat exchanger will re-cover 72 percent of the available heat in the hot water, deter- mine the heat transfer rating of the heat exchanger that needs to be purchased and suggest a suitable type. Also, determine the amount of money this heat exchanger will save the company per year from natural gas savings.

Engr. Dizon, a mechanical engineer, is planning to construct a cooling water pond in Laguna for a power plant. The power plant is known to discharge 20 m/s of cooling water. Estimate the required surface area (in hectares) of the pond if the water temperature is to be lowered from 45 C at its inlet to 35.5 C at its outlet. Assume specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kg-K, and an overall heat transfer coefficient of 0.0412 kJ/s-m2-K. Round off your answer to the nearest whole number.
