4. The following heat exchanger uses 10 kg/s of hot air to heat and boil liquid water into saturated steam at 500 kPa. (a) Find the steam flow (kg/s) (b) Determine whether the process is allowed by the second law (Answer: It is not!) (c) On the surface, the process looks OK as Tair>Twater at both the inlet and outlet. You should be able to see the problem if you sketch the air and the water temperature profiles as you move left to right through the exchanger. (Hints: The air will be essentially a straight line, while the water will not. For the water, think about what happens when it is changing phase.) This is called a pinch point violation, and it is a very important design consideration in advanced combined cycle systems and in nuclear power plants.

Hello! I'd like help with the following exercise, from Levenspiel's "Engineering Flow and Heat Exchange". Leftover air at 20ºC and 100kPa is driven by a fan through a horizontal galvanized conduit of 1 m in diameter and 10m in length at a speed of 10 m/s. What size motor should be used if its efficiency is 90% and that of the fan is 20%? I'm not sure where to start. My professor hasn't explained much about this subject.
Q4. (a) Liquid water in a tank can be converted into ice just by evacuating the air from the tank without using heat exchanger. Explain the process and how the device works and the process can be made more efficient. (b) If you have two pots with the same volume but different shapes, one is tall and narrow the other is wide and short, compare and explain about the boiling temperature of the two cases. Discuss the reason why the required temperature for the two cases are different or same on the basis of your answer.
