Explanation Consider the system is in steady state. Hence, the inlet and exit mass flow rates are equal. The mass flow rate of air ( m ˙ a ) is as follows. m ˙ 1 = m ˙ 2 = m ˙ a The mass flow rate of water ( m ˙ w ) is as follows. m ˙ 3 = m ˙ 4 = m ˙ w The flow work of air is expressed as follows. w flow,a = P 2 v 2 − P 1 v 1 (I) Here, the pressure is P , the specific volume is v and the subscripts 1 and 2 indicates the initial and final states of air. Write the ideal gas relation. P v = R T Here, the gas constant is R and the temperature is T . Since, the air is an ideal gas. Rewrite the Equation (I) with reference to the ideal gas relation as follows. w flow,a = R T 2 − R T 1 = R ( T 2 − T 1 ) (II) The flow work of water is expressed as follows. w flow,w = P 4 v 4 − P 3 v 3 (III) Write the formula total flow power required. W ˙ flow = m ˙ a w flow,a + m ˙ w w flow,w (IV) Write the formula for mass flow rate of air. m ˙ a = V ˙ P 1 R T 1 (V) Here, the volumetric flow rate of air is V ˙ , the pressure is P , the gas constant of air is R and the temperature is T ; the suffix 1 indicates the inlet condition of air. For water: At inlet: The water is at the state of saturated water. Refer Table A-4E, “Saturated water–Temperature table”. Obtain the inlet specific volume ( v 3 ) corresponding to the temperature of 50 °F . v f @ 50 ° F = v 3 = 0.01602 ft 3 /lbm At exit: Still, the water is at the state of saturated water. Refer Table A-4E, “Saturated water–Temperature table”. Obtain the outlet specific volume ( v 4 ) corresponding to the temperature of 90 °F . v f @ 90 ° F = v 4 = 0.01610 ft 3 /lbm Refer Table A-1E, “Molar mass, gas constant, and critical-point properties”. The gas constant ( R ) of air, in Btu/lbm ⋅ R is 0.06855 Btu/lbm ⋅ R . The gas constant ( R ) of air, in psia ⋅ ft 3 /lbm ⋅ R is 0.3704 psia ⋅ ft 3 /lbm ⋅ R . Conclusion: Substitute 0.06855 Btu/lbm ⋅ R for R , 100 ° F for T 2 , and 200 °F for T 1 in Equation (II). w flow,a = 0.06855 Btu/lbm ⋅ R ( 100 °F − 200 ° F ) = 0.06855 Btu/lbm ⋅ R [ ( 100 + 460 ) R − ( 200 + 460 ) R ] = 0.06855 Btu/lbm ⋅ R ( − 200 R ) = − 6

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.
