Saturated water vapor at 100°C condenses in a 1-shell and 2-tube heat exchanger with a surface area of 0.5 m2 and an overall heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m2·K. Cold water (cpc = 4179 J/kg·K) flowing at 0.5 kg/s enters the tube side at 15°C, determine (a) the heat transfer effectiveness, (b) the outlet temperature of the cold water, and (c) the heat transfer rate for the heat exchanger.
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.
