Rate of energy destruction in the heat exchanger


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: Hot exhaust gases leaving an internal combustion engine at 400°C and 150 kPa at a rate of 0.8 kg/s is to be used to produce saturated steam at 200°C in an insulated heat exchanger. Water enters the heat exchanger at the ambient temperature of 20°C, and the exhaust gases leave the heat exchanger at 350°C. Determine

(a) The rate of steam production,

(b) The rate of energy destruction in the heat exchanger, and

(c) The second-law efficiency of the heat exchanger.
