In a chemical plant, a certain chemical is heatedby hot water supplied by a natural gas furnace. The hot water(cp= 4180 J/kg·K) is then discharged at 60°C at a rate of 8 kg/min. The plant operates 8 h a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks ayear. The furnace has an efficiency of 78 percent, and the costof the natural gas is $1.00 per therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ).The average temperature of the cold water entering the furnacethroughout the year is 14°C.
