Solution exercise 3

Cold side
Tc,in = 22C
Tc,out = 37C
m& c = 5 kg/s

Hot side
Th,in = 100C
ph = 5 bar
m& h = 5.2 kg/s

U = 400 W/mK

Solution
Tc =

Tc,in Tc,out
2

= 29.5C

c p c = 4182.6 J/kgK

Q = m& c c pc (Tc,out Tc,in ) = 313695 W


hh,in = 373.7 kJ/kg

Q = m& h (hh,in hh,out ) hh,out = 313.37 kJ/kg Th,out = 40.5C


LMTD = 36.3C (determined for counter-flow HEX correction with F)
Q = U.A.F.LMTD
