a) The total power generated by both compressors: kW b) The mass flow of water: kg/s
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
Two separate streams of air and steam flow through a compressor system and a heat exchanger, as shown in the figure. The diagram provides steady state operating data for this system. The transfer of heat with the surroundings can be neglected, as well as the effects of kinetic and potential energy. Air can be considered an ideal gas. Decide:
a) The total power generated by both compressors: kW
b) The mass flow of water: kg/s
