(a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass flow rate of steam
The specific heat of steam
The temperature of steam inlet
The mass flow rate of other steam
The specific heat of other steam
The temperature of other steam inlet
The overall heat transfer coefficient
The area of heat exchanger
Calculation:
Calculate the rate of heat transfer
Calculate the rate of heat transfer
Calculate the Logarithmic mean temperature
Calculate the heat transfer rate
Solve the above equation to obtain the outlet temperature of hot steam
Thus, the outlet temperatures of hot steam is
(b)
