    demonstrate the working principles of industrial heat exchangers ii. To investigate the efficiency of the heat exchanger in parallel and counter flow arrangements 1.0 INTRODUCTION A heat exchanger is equipment in which heat exchange takes place between 2 fluids that enter and exit at different temperatures. The main function of heat exchanger is to either remove heat from a hot fluid or to add heat to the cold fluid. The direction of fluid motion inside the heat exchanger can normally categorised as

    mixture‚ and (c) the density of the mixture. 3 2. A piston–cylinder device contains 0.85 kg of refrigerant-134a at 10°C. The piston that is free to move has a mass of 12 kg and a diameter of 25 cm. The local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now‚ heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until the temperature is 15°C. Determine (a) the final pressure‚ (b) the change in the volume of the cylinder‚ and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the refrigerant-134a. 3. Determine the specific volume of superheated

    Conclusions The purpose of this experiment was to find the relationship between a substance’s specific heat and its atomic weight. In the lab‚ the substances with the higher atomic weights had less specific heat. From this‚ we can conclude that specific heat and atomic weight have an inverse relationship‚ meaning as one decreases the other increases. The reason for this is because if atoms are small‚ or light‚ they have the ability to pack tightly together‚ leaving almost no space between them
