Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a quality of 0.9 and exits at the same pressure as saturated liquid. The steam mass flow rate is 1.3 kg/min. A separate stream of air with a mass flow rate of 100 kg/min enters at 30oC and exits at 60oC. The ideal gas model with cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K can be assumed for air. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the temperature of...
1. (20 points) Consider a cogeneration system operating at steady state. Superheated steam enters the first turbine stage at 6 MPa, 540 °C. Between the first and second stages, 45% of the steam is extracted at 500 kPa and diverted to a process heating load of 5 x 108 kl/h. Condensate exits the process heat exchanger at 450 kPa with specific enthalpy of 589.13 kl/kg and is mixed with liquid exiting the lower pressure pump at 450 kPa. The entire...

1. (100 points) A counterflow heat exchanger operates at steady state to transfer heat between air and refrigerant 134a. The air enters at 22°C and 0.1 MPa, then exits at 7°C. The R-134a enters at 0°C at a rate of 30 kg/h by mass, and is a saturated vapor upon exit. Both streams experience no notable change in pressure. (a) Determine the heat transfer rate and associated rate of exergy transfer for the R-134a stream in kJ/h. (b) Evaluate the...
Hot air enters a heat exchanger at 350°C and exits at (149°C. The heat extracted is used to boil (0.263) kg/s of 100°C water (from saturated liquid to saturated steam). The heat exchanger is a single-shell shell-and-tube heat exchanger with two tube passes. The overall heat transfer coefficient for the hot side is 240 W/(m2°C). Assume a constant specific heat for air of Cp = 1.005 kJ/(kgC). The pressure of the hot air and the boiling water is P =...

Figure provides steady-state data for a throttling valve in series with a heat exchanger. Saturated liquid Refrigerant 134a enters the valve at T1 = 36 degrees Celsius with a mass flow rate of 0.26 kg/s and is throttled to T2 = -8 degrees Celsius. The refrigerant then enters the heat exchanger, exiting as saturated vapor with no significant decrease in pressure. In a separate stream, liquid water enters the heat exchanger at T4 = 20 degrees Celsius and exits as...
Water at 600ºC, 10 MPa enters the “hot” side of a well-insulated heat exchanger with a flowrate of 0.1 kg/s and exits as saturated liquid. Water enters the “cold” side of the heat exchanger at 10ºC, 100 kPa with a flowrate of 0.5 kg/s. Find (a) the rate of heat transfer (in kW) between the two fluids and (b) the exit temperature of the cold water (in ºC).
