Question:

A steam-heated, single-pass tubular preheater is designed to raise 5.6 kg/s of air from 20°C to 75°C, using saturated steam at 2.6 MPa (abs). It is proposed to double the flow rate of air, and in order to be able to use the same heat exchanger and achieve the desired temperature rise, it is proposed to increase the steam pressure. Calculate the steam pressure necessary for the new conditions and comment on the design characteristics of the new arrangement.
