What is the maximum work that could be obtained if the flow rates and temperatures of the streams remain the same, but heat transfer is permitted with the surroundings at 298 K? (CPwater = 4.184 kJ/(kgK), CPorganic = 2.5 kJ/(kgK).) b. What is the maximum work that could be obtained by replacing the heat exchanger with a reversible heat transfer device, where the inlet flowrates and temperatures are to remain the same, the organic outlet temperature remains the same, and no heat transfer with the surroundings occurs?

Question
A heat exchanger operates with the following streams: Water in at 20°C, 30 kg/hr; water out at 70°C; Organic in at 100°C, 41.8 kg/hr; organic out at 40°C.
