In a food processing plant a brine solution is heated from -12°C to -6.5°C in a concentric tube parallel flow heat exchanger by water entering at 35°C and leaving at 20.5°C at the rate of 9kg/min . Determine the heat exchanger area for an overall heat transfer coefficient of 860W/m^2K. Take Cp for water as 4.187KJ/kgK
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.
