Concept explainers

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.

4. The following heat exchanger uses 10 kg/s of hot air to heat and boil liquid water into saturated steam at 500 kPa. (a) Find the steam flow (kg/s) (b) Determine whether the process is allowed by the second law (Answer: It is not!) (c) On the surface, the process looks OK as Tair>Twater at both the inlet and outlet. You should be able to see the problem if you sketch the air and the water temperature profiles as you move left to right through the exchanger. (Hints: The air will be essentially a straight line, while the water will not. For the water, think about what happens when it is changing phase.) This is called a pinch point violation, and it is a very important design consideration in advanced combined cycle systems and in nuclear power plants.

Figure below shows a steam jet refrigeration system that produces chilled water in a flash chamber. The chamber is maintained at a pressure by the steam ejector, which removes the vapor generated by entraining it in the low-pressure jet and discharging into the condenser. The vacuum pump removes air and other non-condensable gases from the condenser shell. For the conditions shown on the figure, determine the make-up water and cooling water flow rates in kg/hr.
