Design a heat exchanger for a gas turbine exhaust A paper mill has just purchased a 5.7 MW gas turbine for electrical power generation. To increase the overall plant efficiency and reduce the payback time it has been decided to use the exhaust gases to heat water in a heat exchanger. The company requires 12.7 tonnes/hr of steam at a pressure of 18.9 Bar and at a temperature of 315oC. The temperature and pressure at inlet to the heat exchanger...
Quantitative: In the 1950s liquid hydrogen was considered as a fuel for a new type of aircraft being developed, the SR-71 Blackbird (shown in Figure 1).
