Heat exchanger 

Tiwi field which has an installed capacity of 275 Mwe operates using pressurized, deep groundwater
at Tg = 420K as the heat source for binary cycle. A horizontal shell-and-tube heat exchanger with one
shell pass and one tube pass, transfers heat between the tube side groundwater and the counterflowing
shell-side organic fluid of the power cycle. The organic fluid enters the shell side of the evaporator
as a subcooled liquid at Tei= 300K, and exits the evaporator as a saturated vapor of quality XR,O=1
and temperature Tc.o = Tsat = 395K. Within the evaporator, heat transfer occurs between liquid
groundwater and the organic fluid in Stage A with UA = 900 W/m²K, and between liquid groundwater
and boiling organic fluid in Stage B. with UB-1200 W/m² K. For groundwater and organic fluid flow
rates of m, 10 kg/s and mg = 5.2 kg/s, respectively, determine the required evaporator heat transfer
surface area. The specific heat of the liquid organic fluid of the Rankine cycle is cp, R = 1300 J/kgK
and its latent heat of vaporization is hfg =110 kJ/kg. Specific heat of groundwater cp,G = 4267 J/kg
K.
