The stack gas from a chemical operation contains noxious vapors that must be condensed by lowering its temperature from 315C to 35C. The gas flow rate is 0.70 m^3/s. Water is available at 10C at 1.26kg/s. A counterflow heat exchanger will be used with a water flowing through the tubes. The gas has a specific heat of 1.10 kJ/kg-K and a gas constant of 0.26 kJ/kg-K. What is the rate of heat lost by the gas? answ. 186.956 kJ 196.895 kJ 168.965 kJ 169.856 kJ
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.
