Gases after combustion are discharged from a flue in a facility to the atmosphere at a temperature of 250 °C and a flow rate of 25000 m3/h. It is desired to benefit from the heat of this waste gas in heating. There is a site with 40 residences, each with a heating load of approximately 8 kW, located 3 km from the facility. 1- Determine the substation capacity to be used, taking into account the hot water requirement for each house on the site. 2- Determine the substation inlet/outlet temperature and the heat exchanger water inlet/outlet temperatures. The temperature of the water leaving the heat exchanger is required not to exceed 95 ° C. The pipeline between the facility and the site is underground pipeline. Determine the required data by considering the region where the facility is located, calculate the heat losses in the line and find the required insulation thickness. 3- Calculate the total capacity including losses and determine the required exchanger dimensions

Question

Gases after combustion are discharged from a flue in a facility to the atmosphere at a temperature of 250 °C and a flow rate of 25000 m3/h. It is desired to benefit from the heat of this waste gas in heating. There is a site with 40 residences, each with a heating load of approximately 8 kW, located 3 km from the facility.
1- Determine the substation capacity to be used, taking into account the hot water requirement for each house on the site.
2- Determine the substation inlet/outlet temperature and the heat exchanger water inlet/outlet temperatures. The temperature of the water leaving the heat exchanger is required not to exceed 95 ° C. The pipeline between the facility and the site is underground pipeline. Determine the required data by considering the region where the facility is located, calculate the heat losses in the line and find the required insulation thickness.
3- Calculate the total capacity including losses and determine the required exchanger dimensions.
