3-Steam enters the condenser of a steam power plant at a flow rate of 18000 kg / h, a degree of dryness of 0.86 and a pressure of 15 kPa, leaving the condenser as a saturated liquid at the same pressure. A nearby river water is used for the cooling of the condenser. Calculate the water flow rate of the cooler if the water of the river can be heated up to 10 ° C in order to avoid thermal pollution. (C_ (p, water) = 4.18 kJ / kgK) Note: the potential energy change is negligible.
Design a hydrocooling unit that can cool fruits and vegetables from 30°C to 5°C at a rate of 20,000 kg/h under the following conditions: The unit will be of flood type that will cool the products as they are conveyed into the channel filled with water. The products will be dropped into the channel filled with water at one end and picked up at the other end. The channel can be as wide as 3 m and as high as 90 cm. The water is to be circulated and cooled by the evaporator section of a refrigeration system. The refrigerant temperature inside the coils is to be -2°C, and the water temperature is not to drop below 1°C and not to exceed 6°C. Assuming reasonable values for the average product density, specific heat, and porosity (the fraction of air volume in a box), recommend reasonable values for the quantities related to the thermal aspects of the hydrocooler, including (a) how long the fruits and vegetables need to remain in the channel, (b) the length of the channel, (c) the water…
a saturated steam is to be condensed at temperature of 50 °C to produce a saturated water. The cooling water is drawn from a nearby river and enters the tubes of the condenser at 18 °C and leaves it at 37 °C. The tubes of the condenser are thin of a diameter 15 mm and 5 m long and their number is 773 tubes. Determine the efficiency of the condenser, cooling water flow rate (kg/s), and steam flow rate (kg/s) considering the following date: , (water side) = 5000W I m².K ;h. = (steam side) = 60000 W / m².K ;R, =R,, =0.0001 m:CIW Answer (59.37%,115.576kg/s,3.87 kg/s). %3D
