Problem 05.087- Heat exchanger
The evaporator of a refrigeration cycle is basically a heat exchanger in which a refrigerant is evaporated
by absorbing heat from a fluid. Refrigerant-22 enters an evaporator at 200 kPa with a quality of 22
percent and a flow rate of 2.65 m³/h. R-22 leaves the evaporator at the same pressure superheated by
5°C. The refrigerant is evaporated by absorbing heat from air whose flow rate is 0.745 kg/s. The
properties of R-22 at the inlet and exit of the condenser are
h₁ 220.2 kJ/kg, V₁ =
1.005 kJ/kg °C.
0.0253 m³/kg, and h₂

A Refrigerant 22 vapour compression system meant for food freezing oper-
ates at 40°C condensing temperature and –35°C evaporating temperature. Its
compressor is capable of pumping 30 L/s of vapour at suction.
(a) Calculate the COP of the system and its refrigerating capacity.
(b) If a regenerative heat exchanger is installed which allows suction vapour
to be heated by 30°C with liquid from the condenser at 40°C to be cooled
correspondingly, what is the new COP and refrigerating capacity?
A 4-pass-low-pressure surface type feedwater heater is designed to heat
92,730 kg/hr of feedwater from 40°C initial to 80°C final temperature using
steam bleed at 70 kpa abs. containing 2,645 Kj/kg enthalpy. Assume no
subcooling of condensate, determine the effective length of 19 mm O.D x 2
mm thick Muntz metal tubes to be installed, if the water velocity inside the
tubes is 1.22 m/s and U = 3000 W /m²k based on the external surface of the
tubes.

- part a b and carrow_forwardercise 6 6.1 A surface condenser is fitted with separate air and condensate outlets. A portion of the cooling surface is screened from the incoming steam and the air is passes over these screened tubes to the air extraction and becomes cooled below the condensate temperature. The condenser receives 20 000kg/hr of dry saturated steam at 36.2°C. At the condensate outlet the temperature is 34.6°C TK and at the air extraction the temperature is 29°C. The volume of air and vapour leaving the condenser is 3.8m3/min. Assume constant pressure throughout the condenser, calculate: 6.1.1 the mass of air removed per 10 000kg of steam (2.63kg); 6.1.2 the mass of steam condensed in the air cooler per minute (0.5kg/min)%3B 6.1.3 the heat rejected to the cooling water (13451kW).arrow_forwardPlease show step by step solutions for each part As shown in Figure 1, one portion of the hot flue gases is supplied to the steam generator. The steam generator is a shell and tube type of heat exchanger. In this steam generator treated bore water flows through the tubes while the hot flue gases flow in the shell, and steam is produced. The average demand of the steam for other processes within the iron/steel industry is (251) kg/hr at (155) ℃ temperature and 400kPa absolute pressure. Treated bore water is supplied to the steam generator at an average temperature of 20℃. The average pressure drop in the water line of the steam generator is 10kPa. The flue gases enter the shell and tube heat exchanger (steam generator) at a pressure of 110 kPa (Absolute) and a temperature of (252) ℃ and average mass flow rate of (134) kg/min. The average pressure drop in the flue gas side of the steam generator is 5kPa. Flue gases can be assumed to behave as ideal gas and have constant specific heat…arrow_forward

Calculate the heat transferred if the log mean temperature difference is 1380 deg F.arrow_forwardSteam passes steadliy through a turbine and condenser as shown in the figure below. After expanding through the turbine and producing 1000kW of power, the steam is at a pressure of 0.08 bar and a quality of 87.4%; it enters a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where the steam now condenses on the outside of tubes through which cooling water flows; this condensate continues to flow, finally exiting as saturated liquid at 0.08 bar. The mass flow rate of the condensing steam is 58kg/s, In order to condense the steam, cooling water enters the tubes at 15°C and flows as a separate stream to exit at 35°C with negligible change in pressure. Stray heat transfer is negligible as are kinetic and potential effects. Considering the steam inside the turbine as a system, is the system best described as open, closed or isolated? What is the mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine in kg/s? What is the enthalpy at the inlet of the turbine in k/kg? What is the mass flowrate of the cooling water in kg/s?…arrow_forward. The exhaust gas regenerator (counter-flow heat exchanger) for a gas turbinehandles 1.9 kg/sec of air from its compressor and heats it by means of 2.2 kg/secof hot exhaust gas. Exhaust gas enters the regenerator at 596°C and leaves at312°C. Compressed air enters the regenerator at 220°C. For this temperaturerange a constant pressure specific heat for the exhaust has may be estimated at1090 J/kg-°C.
