Water enters a body-tube heat exchanger as a hot fluid at a flow rate of 2.6 kg/s at 68 °C. The cold fluid is water at a flow rate of 1.8 kg/s and the inlet temperature to the heat exchanger is 32°C. Calculate the outlet temperature of the cold stream since the heat exchanger efficiency is known as 0.55. NOTE: For water, cp=4179 J/kg.K will be taken as constant
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.
