Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a quality of 0.9 and exits at the same pressure as saturated liquid. The steam mass flow rate is 1.3 kg/min. A separate stream of air with a mass flow rate of 100 kg/min enters at 30oC and exits at 60oC. The ideal gas model with cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K can be assumed for air. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the temperature of...
Saturated steam at a pressure of 2 bar is to be used to heat a stream of ethane. The ethane enters a heat exchanger at 16ºC and 1.5 bar at a rate of 795 m3 /min and is heated at constant pressure to 93ºC. The steam condenses and leaves the exchanger as a liquid at 27ºC. The specific enthalpy of ethane at the given pressure is 941 kJ/(kg.oC) at 16ºC and 1073 kJ/(kg.oC) at 93ºC a) Draw a flow diagram...
A boiler is at a pressure of 80 psia. Use steam tables for sea level. (i) At what temperature does the water boil?(ii) How much heat input ( in Btu/hr) is required to heat 20 pounds per hour of water from 70 F to this boiling point?

Problem 3 Steam enters a heat exchanger at 0.1 bar with a quality of 0.95 and condensate exits at 0.1 bar and 45'C. Cooling water enters the heat exchanger in a separate stream as a liquid at 20'C and exits as a liquid at 35 C with no changes in pressure. Heat transfer from the outside of the heat exchanger and changes in the kinetic and potential energies of the flowing streams can be ignored. For steady state operation, (a)...

Q1. A double-effect evaporator is being used (in forward mode) to concentrate a sodium chloride solution from 4 to 20 weight %. The solution enters the first effect at 298K at a rate of 3000 kg/h, and saturated steam at a pressure of 1.5 bars is fed into a tube bundle in the Ist effect. The steam condenses at 1.5 bars and the condensate is withdrawn at the saturation temperature corresponding to this pressure. The pressure at the second effect...
Evaporation of Sugar Solution in a Multiple-Effect Evaporator. A triple-effect evaporator with forward feed is evaporating a sugar solution with negligible boiling- point rise (less than 1.0 K, which will be neglected) and containing 5 wt% solids to 25% solids.
