Chapter 5 Problem 579

Question

Air (cp 5 1.005 kJ/kg8C) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. Air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kPa and 208C at a rate of 0.6 m3 /s. The combustion gases (cp 5 1.10 kJ/kg8C) enter at 1608C at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 958C. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Air (cp 5 1.005 kJ/kg8C) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. Air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kPa and 208C at a rate of 0.6 m3 /s. The combustion gases (cp 5 1.10 kJ/kg8C) enter at 1608C at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 958C. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.
From the textbook chapter Mass and Energy Analysis of Control Volumes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
