An economizer is to be purchased for a power plant. The unit is to be large enough to heat 7.5 kg/s of pressurized water from 71 to 182°C. There are 26 kg/s of flue gases (cp = 1000 J/(kg K)) available at 426°C. Estimate (a) the outlet temperature of the flue gases and (b) the heat transfer area required for a counterflow arrangement if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 57 W/(m2 K).
