Urgent solution required don't use method previous used
A geothermal source is utilized to heat the swimming pool water through a heat recovery
system. Geothermal water at 95C is used to heat the swimming pool water at 10C at a rate
of 2.1kgs in a double pipe counterflow heat exchanger. The specific heat for the geothermal
water and the pool water is 4250Jkg.K and 4180Jkg.K, respectively. The overall heat
transfer co-efficient is 480Wm2*K. The mass flow rate and the outlet temperature of the
geothermal water are 2.5kgs and 51C, respectively. Assuming that the heat exchanger will
recover 82% of the available heat in the geothermal hot water. Determine:
i. the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger (unit: kW )
ii. the outlet temperature of the pool water (unit: K)
iii. the area of the heat exchanger (unit: m2)
Inaa....
iv. the efficiency of the resistance heater is 95% and the grid electricity cost is 0.08
$kWh. If the pool operates 8 h a day, 5 days a week and 52 weeks a year, calculate
the amount of money the heat recovery system will save per year from the electricity
savings (unit: $).
