Volume of the tank capacity of 1500 kg is used for the cooling process. The product temperature in the tank is 85 oC and will be cooled by cooling water which is passed through the tank jacket with the final product temperature being 45 oC (cooling water flow 15 M3/hour). If the volume capacity of the cooling water in the jacketing tank is 400 liters, determine:1. Energy needed to cool the product from 85 oC to 45 oC?2. How long does it take to cool the product from 85 oC to 45 oC?

Dumping Heat into a River A town is considering building a new gas fired steam power to provide 500 MW of electrical power. The town considers whether they can use the town's river for cooling purposes. a state of the art power plant will have a thermal effeienct of 58%, the lowest mass flow of river water is 105 t/s, and to protect nature, the average increase of water temperature should be below 275 K.

Hot exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine are to be used to produce saturated water vapor at 2 MPa pressure. The exhaust gases enter the heat exchanger at 400°C at a rate of 32 kg/min while water enters at 15°C. The heat exchanger is not well insulated, and it is estimated that 10 percent of heat given up by the exhaust gases is lost to the surroundings. If the mass flow rate of the exhaust gases is 15 times that of the water, determine (a) the temperature of the exhaust gases at the heat exchanger exit and (b) the rate of heat transfer to the water. Use the constant specific heat properties of air for the exhaust gases.

In a boiler of a steam power plant the incoming water is heated to steam by hot gas flowing around the tube. The hot gas is produced by combustion of coal. Consider the pressure of water flowing through the tube to be 4 MPa. Water enters the tube at a velocity of 0.1 m/s and a temperature of 50 °C. The tube diameter is 2.5 cm. The hot gas flowing around the tube is at 1000 °C. The water needs to reach the saturation temperature of 250 °C.

The components of an electronic system dissipating 180 W are located in a 1-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 16 cm * 16 cm. The components in the duct are cooled by forced air, which enters at 27°C at a rate of 0.65 m3/min. Assuming 85 percent of the heat generated inside is transferred to air flowing through the duct and the remaining 15 percent is lost through the outer surfaces of the duct, determine (a) the exit temperature of air and (b) the highest component surface temperature in the duct. As a first approximation assume flow is fully developed in the channel. Evaluate properties of air at a bulk mean temperature of 35°C. Is this a good assumption?
