Chapter 7.13, Problem 166P

The space heating of a facility is accomplished by natural gas heaters that are 85 percent efficient. The compressed-air needs of the facility are met by a large liquid-cooled compressor. The coolant of the compressor is cooled by air in a liquid-to-air heat exchanger whose airflow section is 1.0 m high and 1.0 m wide. During typical operation, the air is heated from 20 to 52°C as it flows through the heat exchanger. The average velocity of air on the inlet side is measured at 3 m/s. The compressor operates 20 hours a day and 5 days a week throughout the year. Taking the heating season to be 6 months (26 weeks) and the cost of the natural gas to be $1.25/therm (1 therm = 100,000 Btu = 105,500 kJ), determine how much money will be saved by diverting the compressor waste heat into the facility during the heating season.

Steam with quality 0.85 enters the condenser of a power plant at 20 kPa with a mass flow rate 10 kg/s. It is cooled by water from a nearby river by circulating through the tubes inside the condenser. If the steam leaves the condenser as saturated liquid at 20 kPa and the temperature rise of the cooling water is 15°C, (a) determine the minimum mass flow rate of the cooling water required, (b) determine the heat transfer rate from the steam to the cooling water. Hint: Average specific heats at room temperature can be used for the cooling water from river. E Water
Saturated liquid water is heated in a heat exchanger until it exits as a saturated liquid vapor mixture. Hot oil is used to heat the water. The hot oil enters the heat exchanger at 150 C and exits at 40 C. The mass flowrate of the hot oil is 11 kg/s and has a specific heat of 2.2 kJ/kg-C. The water enters the heat exchanger at 25 C and 100 kPa. The water leaves the heat exchanger as a saturated liquid vapor mixture at 100 kPa. The mass flowrate of the water is 1.5 kg/s. What is the enthalpy of the water at the exit of the heat exchanger in units of kJ/kg? Select the answer that is closest to the true value.
