A commercial laundry runs a dryer that has an exit flow of 0.5 kg/s moist air at 48◦C, 70% relative humidity. To reduce the heating cost, a counter flow stack heat exchanger is used to heat the incoming fresh air at 20◦C with the exit flow, as shown in Fig. P11. 105. Assume the outgoing flow can be cooled to 25◦C and the two flows have the same mass flow rate of dry air. Is there a missing flow in the figure? Find the rate of energy recovered by this heat exchanger.
