The pressurized water that enters a cross-flow heat exchanger with a flow of 1 kg / s at 35 ° C and leaves at 125 ° C, where fluids do not mix, is heated by exhaust gases entering the heat exchanger at 300 ° C and exiting at 100 ° C. . The total heat transfer coefficient defined according to the surface on the gas side is 100 W / m ° K. Thermal properties of exhaust gases are considered as atmospheric air. a) Find the required surface area on the gas side. (15P) Due to the contamination that occurs over time, the inlet temperature and flow rate of the water in the heat exchanger remain the same, while the outlet temperature drops to 105 ° C *. a) Calculate the new condition with the acceptance of fixed thermal properties, b) Heat transfer,
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
