MASS TRANSFER - EXAMPLE 4.1 : A concentric, counter-current heat exchanger is us

MASS TRANSFER - EXAMPLE 4.1 : A concentric, counter-current heat exchanger is used to cool lubricating oil. Water is used as the coolant. The mass flow rate of oil into the heat exchanger is 0.1 kg / s = FO. For oil, the inlet temperature TIO = 100 degree Celsius and the outlet temperature TOO = 55 degree Celsius. For water, the inlet temperature TIW = 35 degree Celsius and the outlet temperature TOW = 42 degree Celsius. What is the mass flow rate of water in kg / s, FW needed to maintain these operating conditions? Constant for heat capacity of oil is CO = 2131 J /(kg K) and for water is CW = 4178 J /(kg K). Use the equation (FO)(CO)(TIO ?TOO) = (FW)(CW)(TOW ?TIW).

Answer / kangchuentat

MASS TRANSFER - ANSWER 4.1 : Rearranging the given equation, then FW = (FO)(CO)(TIO – TOO) / [ (CW)(TOW – TIW) ] = (0.1)(2131)(100 – 55) / [ (4178) (42 – 35) ] = 0.327891 kg / s.
