While flowing at the rate of 1.25 kg/s in a simple counterflow heat exchanger, dry air is cooled from 65 to 38°C by means of cold air which enters at 15°C and flows at a rate of 1.6 kg/s. It is planned to lengthen the heat exchanger so that 1.25 kg/s. of air can be cooled from 65 to 26°C with a counterflow current of air at 1.6 kg/s entering at 15°C. Assuming that the specific heat of the air is constant, calculate the ratio of the length of the new heat exchanger to the length of the original.

GIVEN
A simple adiabatic air-to-air counter flow heat exchanger:
Case 1
? Warm air temperatures
? Th,in = 65°C
? Th,out = 38°C
? Air flow rates
? mh = 1.25 kg/s
? mc = 1.6 kg/s
? Cold air inlet temperature (Tc,in) = 15°C
After lengthening heat exchanger:
Case 2
? Warm air temperatures
? Th,in = 65°C
? Th,out = 26°C
? Air flow rates
? mh = 1.25 kg/s
? mc = 1.6 kg/s
? Cold air inlet temperature (Tc,in) = 15°C
FIND
? The ratio of the length of the new heat exchanger to the length of the original
ASSUMPTIONS
? The specific heat of air is constant
? The overall heat transfer coefficient (U) is the same in both cases
