Steam and ammonia enter a counter-current heat exchanger, both at 1 bar, with specific enthalpy indicated in the table below. Qualitatively draw the temperature profiles of the hot stream (i.e., stream losing heat) and cold stream (i.e., stream gaining heat) on the provided figure below. Indicate the substance in each stream (i.e., water or ammonia) and justify your answer
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.
Steam and ammonia enter a counter-current heat exchanger, both at 1 bar, with specific enthalpy
indicated in the table below. Qualitatively draw the temperature profiles of the hot stream (i.e., stream
losing heat) and cold stream (i.e., stream gaining heat) on the provided figure below. Indicate the substance
in each stream (i.e., water or ammonia) and justify your answer.
