This Week:Heat Transfer

Energy Balance ExampleThe power goes out at your brewery due to an overheated transformer, shutting down your fermentation cooling mechanism. Consider a 25 m3 cylindroconical vessel that is full with a product at 10oC, specific heat of 3.4 kJ/kg.K, and density of 1025 kg/m3. Assuming that the sum of heat gains from the surroundings and conversion from fermentation is 7 kW, determine the temperature after 4 hours. How would the 7 kW load change over time?

Wort is being cooled with chilled water in a heat exchanger. The wort enters at 85C with a flow rate of 100 L/min and it exits the heat exchanger at 25C. The chilled water enters at 5C with a flow rate of 175 L/min. The specific heat of the wort and water are 4.0 and 4.2 kJ/kg.K Determine the exit temperature of the chilled water.
