Two fluids, A and B exchange heat in a counter – current heat exchanger. Fluid A enters at 4200C and has a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s. Fluid B enters at 200C and also has a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s, Effectiveness of heat exchanger is 75%. Determine the heat transfer rate and exit temperature of fluid B.

Your question has some missing information below is the missing information

Given that ( specific heat of fluid A = 1 kJ/kg K and specific heat of fluid B = 4 kJ/kg k )

answer : 300 kW , 95°c

Explanation:

Given data:

Fluid A ;

Temperature of Fluid ( Th1 )  = 420° C

mass flow rate (mh)  = 1 kg/s

Fluid B :

Temperature ( Tc1) = 20° C

mass flow rate ( mc ) = 1 kg/s

effectiveness of heat exchanger = 75% = 0.75

Determine the heat transfer rate and  exit temperature of fluid B

Cph = 1000 J/kgk

Cpc = 4000 J/Kgk

Given that the exit temperatures of both fluids are not given we will apply the NTU will be used to determine the heat transfer rate and exit temperature of fluid B

exit temp of fluid  B = 95°C

heat transfer = 300 kW
