Air enters a heat exchanger, operating at steady state, at  1 MPa and 600 K at a mass flow rate of 1000 kg/min. Heat is transferred to the air at a rate of 4000 kW. Nitrogen, flowing separately, enters at 150 kPa and 800 K and leave at 120 kPa and 600 K. (a) Determine the exit temperature of air, and (b) the mass flow rate of nitrogen. Neglect any change in kinetic energy and  heat transfer.

What-If Scenario: How do the answers change if the heat transfer has to be augmented to 5000 kg/min?

Solution: Step-by-step instructions as well as the TEST-Code can be found in the Tutorial>Daemons>Open&Steady>Practice page. An image of the Analysis Panel is shown below.
