Example: Heat Exchanger
- HX operating at steady-state.
- Steam enters one stream of HX at 250 kPa and \(90\%\) quality and exits at same pressure as a saturated liquid.
- Liquid oil enters the other stream of HX at \(29\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and exits as a liquid at \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) with negligible pressure change.
- Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored.
- The oil can be treated as in incompressible liquid with a constant specific heat of \(2.0\mathrm{~kJ}/\mathrm{kgK}\).
-\(10\%\) of the energy transferred to the oil is lost to the surrounding air through stray heat transfer. There is no heat transfer between the surrounding air and water side of HX.
- Determine mass flow rate of water through HX.
