Consider an oil-to-oil double-pipe heat exchanger whose flow arrangement is not known. The temperature measurements indicate tha
t the cold oil enters at 15°C and leaves at 55°C, while the hot oil enters at 80°C and leaves at 40°C. Do you think this is a parallel-flow or counter-flow heat exchanger? Why? Assuming the mass flow rates of both fluids to be identical, determine the effectiveness of this heat exchanger.

Given :
Temperature, T = 55° C = ( 55 + 273 ) K = 328 K .
Volume of container, V = 28.9 dm³ = 0.0289 m³ .
Pressure, P = 144 kPa = 144000 Pa .
To Find :
Number of moles of nitrogen gas.
Solution :
We know, by ideal gas equation :
PV = nRT ( R ( universal gas constant ) = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ .
Therefore, number of moles of nitrogen gas is 1.53 moles.
