Answer:
Oil has the smaller heat capacity. The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is 0.80.
Explanation:
Part 1:
In order to know which fluid has the smaller heat capacity we need to consider the heat equation below:
Q = CΔT, where Q is the heat exchanged, C is the heat capacity and ΔT is the variation in temperature.
As the heat exchange is the same for both fluids, the smaller the temperature variation, the smaller the heat capacity.
Water: ΔT = 120 °F
Oil: ΔT = 80 °F
Therefore, oil is the fluid with the smallest heat capacity.
Part 2:
The effectiveness of a counter-flow heat exchanger is given by the equation bellow:
Th1: initial temperature of the hot fluid
Th2: final temperature of the hot
Tc1: initial temperature of the cold fluid
Answer:- Heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.
Solution:- This type of problems are solved by using the concept, heat given = - heat taken
Metal temperature is decreasing from 45.00 degree C to 11.08 degree C. It means the heat is lost by the metal and this heat lost by metal is gained by water and the calorimeter to raise their temperature.
the equation we use is, .
where, q is the heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat and is change in temperature.
Combined mass of calorimeter and water is 250.0 g and the specific heat is .
for calorimeter and water (combined) = 11.08 - 10.00 = 1.08 degree C
for metal = 11.08 - 45.00 = -33.92 degree C
let's plug in the values in the above equation and calculate heat gained by combined system.
q=250.0g*\frac{1.035cal}{g.^0C}*1.08^0C
q = 279.45 cal
So, the heat lost by the metal is 279.45 cal.
