A heat exchanger is used to cool an air flow from 900 to 400 K, with both states at 1 MPa. The coolant is water flow at 20 degrees C and 0.1 MPa. If the water leaves a saturated vapor, find the ratio of the flow rates (mass flowwater/mass flowair.
4. An evaporator has R-410A at -20°C and quality 80% flowing in. The exit flow is saturated vapor at
-20°C.
a. Consider the heating to be a reversible process and find the specific heat transfer from the
entropy balance. (Answer: 48.7 kJ/kg)
b. If the heat source was at -10°C and the inlet and outlet streams still have the same properties as
in a), calculate the specific entropy generation? (Answer: 7.33 J/(kg K))
A condenser (heat exchanger) brings 1 kg/s water flow at 10 kPa quality 95% to saturated liquid at 10 kPa. The cooling is done by lake water at 20 degree Celsius that returns to the lake at 30 degree Celsius. For an insulated condenser, find the flow rate of cooling water.
