Question 6.CSGP.91: A two fluid heat exchanger has 2 kg/s liquid ammonia at 20°C......

A two fluid heat exchanger has 2 kg/s liquid ammonia at 20°C, 1003 kPa entering state 3 and exiting at state 4. It is heated by a flow of 1 kg/s nitrogen at 1500 K, state 1, leaving at 600 K, state 2 similar to Fig. P6.85. Find the total rate of heat transfer inside the heat exchanger. Sketch the temperature versus distance for the ammonia and find state 4 (T, v) of the ammonia.

CV: Nitrogen flow line, steady rates of flow,  \dot{ Q } \text { out and } \dot{ W }=0

Continiuty:  \dot{ m }_1=\dot{ m }_2=1 \,kg / s ; \quad \text { Energy Eq: } \quad \dot{ m }_1 h _1=\dot{ m }_2 h _2+\dot{ Q }_{\text {out }}

Tbl. A.8:      h _1=1680.7\, kJ / kg ; \quad h _2=627.24 \,kJ / kg

\dot{ Q }_{\text {out }}=\dot{ m }_1\left( h _1- h _2\right)=1(1680.7-627.24)= 1 0 5 3 . 5 k \,W

If Tbl A.5 is used:      Cp =1.042 \,kJ / kg K

\dot{ Q }_{\text {out }}=\dot{ m }_1 Cp \left( T _1- T _2\right)=1 \times 1.042(1500-600)= 9 3 7 . 8 \,k W

CV The whole heat exchanger: No external \dot{ Q } , constant pressure in each line.

\begin{aligned}& \dot{ m }_1 h _1+\dot{ m }_3 h _3=\dot{ m }_1 h _2+\dot{ m }_3 h _4 \Rightarrow h _4= h _3+\dot{ m }_1\left( h _1- h _2\right) / \dot{ m }_3 \\& h _4=274.3+1053.5 / 2=801 \,kJ / kg < h _{ g } \Rightarrow 2 \text {-phase }\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}& x _4=\left( h _4- h _{ f }\right) / h _{ fg }=(801-298.25) / 1165.2=0.43147 \\& v _4= v _{ f }+ x _4 v _{ fg }=0.001658+0.43147 \times 0.12647=0.05623\,m ^3 / kg\end{aligned}

T _4= T _{3 a }=25^{\circ} C \text { This is the boiling temperature for } 1003\, kPa \text {. }
