The Aeropropulsion System Test Facility at the Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee requires a heat exchanger capable of cooling 2750. lbm/s of gas turbine exhaust from 3500. to 80.0°F before discharging it to the atmosphere.
Carry out a preliminary thermodynamic design of a suitable heat exchanger using water as the second fluid.
Determine the amount of cooling water needed and recommend an appropriate source. Also determine the entropy production rate of your heat exchanger.
