A superheated steam is used in a counter flow heat exchanger to heat water at a rate of 10400kg/hr. The steam enters the heat exchanger at 195deg C and leaves at 130degC. The inlet and exit temperature of water are 30deg C and 95deg C, respectively. If the overall heat transfer coefficient from steam to water is 814W/m2-K, calculate the heat transfer area. Use Cp of water=4.187kJ/kg-k
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.
