To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat exchange of a body.

By definition heat exchange in terms of mass flow can be expressed as

W = \dot{m}c_p \Delta T

Where

C_p = Specific heat

\dot{m}= Mass flow rate

\Delta T = Change in Temperature

Our values are given as

C_p = 1.005kJ/kgK \rightarrow Specific heat of air

T_1 = 50\°C

\dot{m} = 2kg/s

W = 8kW

From our equation we have that

W = \dot{m}c_p \Delta T

W = \dot{m}c_p (T_2-T_1)

Rearrange to find T_2

T_2 = \frac{W}{\dot{m}c_p}+T_1

Replacing

T_2 = \frac{8}{2*1.005}+(50+273)

T_2 = 326.98K \approx 53.98\°C

Therefore the exit temperature of air is 53.98°C

What is kirchoff's current law?​
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The sum of all currents entering a junction is 0

Explanation:

Current cannot disappear, so the currents leaving a junction have to equal the currents entering a junction. If you would give the currents leaving the junction an opposite sign (e.g., negative) it implies that the sum of all these currents is exactly 0.
