    The document describes a heat exchanger problem to be solved using EES. Air at 320°C and 100 kPa enters the heat exchanger at 0.5 kg/s to generate steam from water entering at 20°C and 100 kPa at 0.025 kg/s. The pinch point is where the air enters and water leaves with an approach temperature difference of 160 K. The problem involves determining the heat transfer rate, entropy generation rate, and effectiveness of the heat exchanger and considering entropy generation if the approach temperature difference was reduced to 0 K.

    Steam Generator

    Problem sketch

    Solve with EES. Document all necessary balances.

    The problem sketch illustrates a heat exchanger in which hot air is used to generate steam. Air enters
    the heat exchanger at Ta,in = 320°C, Pa = 100 kPa, and ṁa = 0.5 kg/s. Model air as an ideal gas with constant
    specific heat capacity (Ra = 287 J/kg-K, cp,a = 1005 J/kg-K). Water enters the heat exchanger at Tw,in = 20°C
    and Pw = 100 kPa. The mass flow rate of the water is ṁw = 0.025 kg/s. The pinch point associated with the
    heat exchanger is on the hot side (i.e., where the air enters and water leaves). The approach temperature
    difference is ΔT = 160 K. You may neglect pressure drop on the air and the water sides of the heat exchanger.

    a. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the air to the water in the heat exchanger.
    b. Determine the total rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger.
    c. Determine the effectiveness of the heat exchanger.
    d. If the approach temperature difference of the heat exchanger were reduced to ΔT = 0 K (i.e., the heat
    exchanger became "perfect") then would the entropy generation in the heat exchanger be reduced to
    zero? Justify your answer.
