(Solution) - Air cp 1 005 kJ kg C is to be preheated -(2025 Original AI-Free Solution)

Paper Details

Air (cp = 1.005 kJ/kg ? °C) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. Air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kPa and 20°C at a rate of 0.8 m3/s. The combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kJ/kg ? °C) enter at 180°C at a rate of 1.1 kg/s and leave at 95°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.
