(Question |G: Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C with a velocity of 80 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the water at the tube inlet and the inlet volume flow rate. ‘Water flows through the tubes of a boiler. The velocity and volume flow rate of the water at the inlet are to be determined, Assumptions Flow through the boiler is steady.

Determine the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger and the exit temperature of the hot water. Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist 2 The heat exchanger fs well-insulated so that heat Toss to the surroundings is negligible and thus heat transfer from the hot fluid is equal to the heat transfer to the cold fluid. 3 Changes in the kinetic and potential energies of fluid streams are negligible. 4 Fluid properties are constant. Properties The specific heats of cold and hot water are given to be 4.18 and 4.19 ki/kg.°C, respectively.
