24 You want to cool air from 150°C to 60°C but you cannot afford a custom-built heat exchanger. You find a used cross-flow exchanger (both fluids unmixed) in storage. It was previously used to cool 136 kg/min of NH3 vapor from 200°C to 100°C using 320 kg/min of water at 7°C; U was previously 480 W/m²K. How much air can you cool with this exchanger, using the same water supply, if U is approximately unchanged? (Actually, you would have to modify U using the methods of Chapters 6 and 7 once you had the new air flow rate, but that is beyond our present scope.)

3.24 You want to cool air from 150°C to 60°C but you cannot afford a
custom-built heat exchanger. You find a used cross-flow exchanger
(both fluids unmixed) in storage. It was previously used to cool
136 kg/min of NH3 vapor from 200°C to 100°C using 320 kg/min
of water at 7°C; U was previously 480 W/m²K. How much air can
you cool with this exchanger, using the same water supply, if U is
approximately unchanged? (Actually, you would have to modify U
using the methods of Chapters 6 and 7 once you had the new air
flow rate, but that is beyond our present scope.)
