Question:

Consider operation of the furnace-re-cooperator combination of problem under conditions for which chemical energy is converted to thermal energy in the combustor at a rate of q comb = 2.0 x 106 Wand energy is transferred from the combustion gases to the load in the furnace at a rate of q load = 1.4 X 106 W. Assuming equivalent flow rates (mc = mh = 1.0 kg/s) and specific heats (cp,c = cp,h = 1200 J/kg ∙K) for the cold air and flue gases in the re-cooperator, determine Th,i, Th,o, and Tc,o when Tc,i = 300 K and the re-cooperator has an effectiveness of ε = 0.30. What value of the effectiveness would be needed to achieve a combustor air inlet temperature of 800 K?
