4. The following heat exchanger uses 10 kg/s of hot air to heat and boil liquid water into
saturated steam at 500 kPa.
(a) Find the steam flow (kg/s)
(b) Determine whether the process is allowed by the second law (Answer: It is not!)
(c) On the surface, the process looks OK as Tair>Twater at both the inlet and outlet. You
should be able to see the problem if you sketch the air and the water temperature
profiles as you move left to right through the exchanger. (Hints: The air will be essentially
a straight line, while the water will not. For the water, think about what happens when it
is changing phase.) This is called a pinch point violation, and it is a very important design
consideration in advanced combined cycle systems and in nuclear power plants.

Liquid Water
500 kPa, 20°C
Air: 30°C
Water: 20°C
Air enters a cooler at 1450C and at a pressure of 3 bar and is cooled to 450C by passing through tubes of 10 mm inside diameter surrounded by water which enters the cooler at 150C and exits at 300C. Assuming the heat exchanger is counter flow, find:
I) The mean temperature difference.
ii) If the air velocity is limited to 6.5 m/s, what is the required length of tube?
Neglect the resistance of the tube and assume water side heat transfer coefficient is 232 W/m2K.
3.13 Air at 2 kg/s and 27°C and a stream of water at 1.5 kg/s and 60°C
each enter a heat exchanger. Evaluate the exit temperatures if A =
12 m², U = 185 W/m²K, and:
a. The exchanger is parallel flow;
b. The exchanger is counterflow [Tħout = 54.0°C];
c. The exchanger is cross flow, one stream mixed;
d. The exchanger is cross flow, neither stream mixed.
[Thout = 53.62°C]
