Discussion :: Heat and Mass Transfer
- A designer chooses the values of fluid flow rates and specific heats in such a manner that the heat capacities of the two fluids are equal. A hot fluid enters the counter flow heat exchanger at 100°C and leaves at 60°C. A cold fluid enters the heat exchanger at 40°C. The mean temperature difference between the two fluids is
Answer : Option A
Explanation :
tm = mean temperature difference between the two fluids for counter flow heat exchanger,
tm = th1-tc2 = th2-tc1.
tm = th2-tc1 = 60-40 = 20.
