Steam in the condenser of a steam power plant is to be condensed at a temperature 500C (hfg = 2383 kJ/ kg) with cooling water (Cp = 4180 J/kg) from a nearby lake, which enters the condenser at 180C and leaves at 270C. The surface area of the tubes is 42 m2 and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 2400 W/ m2 .0C. Determine: (i) The mass flow rate of cooling water needed (ii) The rate of condensation of steam in the condenser.
Steam in the condenser of a power plant is to be condensed at a temperature of 30°C with cooling water from a nearby lake, which enters the tubes of the condenser at 14°C and leaves at 22°C.

Consider a heat exchanger that uses hot air to heat cold water. Air enters this heat exchanger at 20 psia and 200°F at a rate of 100 ft3 /min and leaves at 17 psia and 100°F. Water enters this unit at 20 psia and 50°F at a rate of 0.5 lbm/s and exits at 17 psia and 90°F. Determine the total flow power, in hp, required for this unit and the flow work, in Btu/lbm, for both the air and water streams.
The condenser of a room air conditioner is designed to reject heat at a rate of 15,000 kJ/h from refrigerant-134a as the refrigerant is condensed at a temperature of 40°C. Air (cp = 1005 J/kg·K) flows across the finned condenser coils, entering at 25°C and leaving at 35°C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the refrigerant side is 150 W/ m2·K, determine the heat transfer area on the refrigerant side.
Water flows through two adiabatic turbines and a heat exchanger as shown in the picture. Hot air is used to provide additional energy to the water between the two turbines. The first turbine has a power output of 8,000 kW. Determine the power output of the second turbine in kW and the process efficiency of each turbine. Determine the state of steam in turbine 1, Formulate the 1st Law for turbine 1, and solve for the flow rate of steam. Formulate the 1st Law for the heat exchanger, and solve for the temperature at exit
In general, heat exchangers with higher flow rates have greater capacities?
The condenser of a steam power plant operates at a pressure of 0.95 psia. The condenser consists of 144 horizontal tubes arranged in a 12 * 12 square array. Steam condenses on the outer surfaces of the tubes whose inner and outer diameters are 1 in and 1.2 in, respectively. If steam is to be condensed at a rate of 6800 lbm/h and the temperature rise of the cooling water is limited to 8°F, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer from the steam to the cooling water and (b) the average velocity of the cooling water through the tubes.
How does a heat exchanger work? Where and when will you use a heat exchanger?
In a once-through boiler, feedwater enters through the bottom og tubes, receives heat from combustion of coal, and escapes from the top of the tubes as superheated steam, calculate the heat transfer coefficients of water and superheated steam using the following data: Pressure of feedwater at tube inlet = 27.0 MPa Absolute temperature of feedwater, Tf =563 K Pressure of superheated steam at tube outlet = 24.5 MPa Absolute Temperature of superheated steam, Tg = 838 K Velocity of Feedwater through each tube. Vf = 6 m/s internal diameter of each tube = 63.5 mm Length of pipe = 30m
In a steam-heating system, air is heated by being passed over some tubes through which steam flows steadily. Steam enters the heat exchanger at 30 psia and 400°F at a rate of 15 lbm/min and leaves at 25 psia and 212°F. Air enters at 14.7 psia and 80°F and leaves at 130°F. Determine the volume flow rate of air at the inlet.
Why is it important to clean the condenser coils of a household refrigerator a few times a year? Also, why is it important not to block airflow through the condenser coils?
In large steam power plants, the feedwater is often heated in closed feedwater heaters, which are basically heat exchangers, by steam extracted from the turbine at some stage. Steam enters the feedwater heater at 1.6 MPa and 250°C and leaves as saturated liquid at the same pressure. Feedwater enters the heater at 4 MPa and 30°C and leaves 10°C below the exit temperature of the steam. Neglecting any heat losses from the outer surfaces of the heater, determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the extracted steam and the feedwater heater.
