Consider an ordinary shower where hot water at 140°F is mixed with cold water at 50°F. If it is desired that a steady stream of warm water at 110°F be supplied, determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the hot to cold water. Assume the heat losses from the mixing chamber to be negligible and the mixing to take place at a pressure of 20 psia.

The oil-containing stream enters the counter-flow heat exchanger with a flow rate of 7258 kg / h, and the temperature of the oil stream drops from 393.4 K to 338.9 K. The water flow used to cool the oil flow enters the heat exchanger at 294.3 K and exits at 305.4 K. Calculate the flow rate of the water and the total heat transfer coefficient (U). (Heat exchanger area: 5.11 m2, Cp for oil: 2.01 kJ / kg K and Cp for water: 4.18 kJ / kg K).
A certain car has 14 L of coolant circulating at a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius through the engine’s cooling system. Assume that, in this normal condition, the coolant completely fills the 3.5 L volume of the aluminum radiator and the 10.5 L internal cavities within the aluminum engine. When a car overheats, the radiator, engine, and coolant expand and a small reservoir connected to the radiator catches any resultant coolant overflow. Estimate how much coolant overflows to the reservoir if the system goes from 95 degrees Celsius to 106 degrees Celsius. Model the radiator and engine as hollow shells of aluminum. The coefficient of volume expansion for coolant is 410x10^-6 degrees Celsius
Consider a water-to-water counter-flow heat exchanger with these specifications. Hot water enters at 95°C while cold water enters at 20°C. The exit temperature of hot water is 15°C greater than that of cold water, and the mass flow rate of hot water is 50 percent greater than that of cold water. The product of heat transfer surface area and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 1400 W/K. Taking the specific heat of both cold and hot water to be cp = 4180 J/kg·K, determine (a) the outlet temperature of the cold water, (b) the effectiveness of the heat exchanger, (c) the mass flow rate of the cold water, and (d) the heat transfer rate.
A counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger is to heat water from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2 kg/s.

If the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m2?K, determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve the desired heating.
