Answer:
59°C
Explanation:
Given that, Cc = McCp,c = 5000 /3600 × 4178 = 5803.2(W/K)
and Ch = MhCp,h = 10000 / 3600 × 4188 = 11634.3(W/K)
Therefore the minimum and maximum heat capacities are:
Cmin = Cc = 5803.2(W/K)
Cmax = Ch = 11634.3(W/K)
The capacity ratio is:
Cr = Cmin / Cmax = 0.499 = 0.5
The maximum possible heat transfer rate is:
Qmax = Cmin (Th,i - Tc,i) = 5803.2 (80 - 20) = 348192(W)
And the number of transfer units is: NTU = UA / Cmin = 11600 / 5803.2 = 1.99
Given that from the appropriate graph in the handouts we can read = 0.7. So the actual heat transfer rate is: Qact = Qmax = 0.7 × 348192 = 243734.4(W)
Hence, the outlet hot temperature is: Th,o = Th,i - Qact / Ch = 59°C
