A cross-flow heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from a stream of saturated water at 100 °C to a stream of air entering at 40 °C. The UA value of the heat exchanger is 5000 W/K. Develop an equation for the outlet temperature of the air as a function of the mass flow rate of air through the heat exchanger. Plot the outlet air temperature vs. mass flow rate of air from 0.5 kg/s to 20 kg/s

Hot fluid enters at a flow rate of 3 kg/sec with an inlet temperature of 150 C while cold fluid enters 5 kg/sec and with an inlet temperature of 60 C.

5000 kg of dry air per hour is cooled from 60 oC to 34 oC in a countercurrent heat exchanger. In the cooling process, the cold air supplied to the heat exchanger is used at a speed of 6200 kg/h and at 20 oC. If the same amount of hot air was cooled from 60 oC to 24 oC in a longer heat exchanger with the help of cold air under the same conditions, determine what the ratio of the new heat exchanger length to the original heat exchanger length would be (assume the specific heat of the air is constant).

A cross-flow heat exchanger with both fluids unmixed has an overall heat transfer coefficient of 200 W/m2·K, and a heat transfer surface area of 400 m2. The hot fluid has a heat capacity of 40,000 W/K, while the cold fluid has a heat capacity of 80,000 W/K.

What is application of parallel flow heat exchanger? and counter flow heat exchanger?
Consider a shell-and-tube water-to-water heat exchanger with identical mass flow rates for both the hot- and cold-water streams. Now the mass flow rate of the cold water is reduced by half. Will the effectiveness of this heat exchanger increase, decrease, or remain the same as a result of this modification? Explain. Assume the overall heat transfer coefficient and the inlet temperatures remain the same.

Cold water is heated from 10 °C to 43.33 °C in the annular space of a double‐pipe heat exchanger and flows in the annular space at a mass flow-rate of 2 kg/s. The exchanger consists of an outer pipe of 2 in BWG 12 and an inner pipe of 1 in BWG 16 tubing. Hot water enters the inner pipe, at a mass velocity of 1.061 kg/s at 287.7 °C and leaves the pipe at 232.2 °C. Wall temperature of the inner pipe is 104.4 °C. Neglecting the resistance of the wall and scale films and assuming L/D > 150, calculate the heat transfer coefficients of inner surface hi and outer surface ho. Please use this tables
