Chapter 7.13, Problem 166P
The space heating of a facility is accomplished by natural gas heaters that are 85 percent efficient. The compressed-air needs of the facility are met by a large liquid-cooled compressor. The coolant of the compressor is cooled by air in a liquid-to-air heat exchanger whose airflow section is 1.0 m high and 1.0 m wide. During typical operation, the air is heated from 20 to 52°C as it flows through the heat exchanger. The average velocity of air on the inlet side is measured at 3 m/s. The compressor operates 20 hours a day and 5 days a week throughout the year. Taking the heating season to be 6 months (26 weeks) and the cost of the natural gas to be $1.25/therm (1 therm = 100,000 Btu = 105,500 kJ), determine how much money will be saved by diverting the compressor waste heat into the facility during the heating season.

Steam with quality 0.85 enters the condenser of a power plant at 20 kPa
with a mass flow rate 10 kg/s. It is cooled by water from a nearby river by
circulating through the tubes inside the condenser. If the steam leaves the
condenser as saturated liquid at 20 kPa and the temperature rise of the
cooling water is 15°C, (a) determine the minimum mass flow rate of the
cooling water required, (b) determine the heat transfer rate from the steam
to the cooling water. Hint: Average specific heats at room temperature
can be used for the cooling water from river.
