Saturated vapor at 200 °C condenses to saturated liquid at the rate of 150 kg/s on the shell side of a heat exchanger (enthalpy of condensation hfg = 2400 kJ/kg). A fluid with Cp = 4 kJ-kg-1K-1. enters at 100 °C on the tube side. If the effectiveness of the heat exchanger is 0.9, then the mass flow rate of the fluid in the tube side is __________ kg/s (in integer).

During open-heart surgery, a patient’s blood is cooled down to 25 °C from 37 °C using a concentric tube counter-flow heat exchanger. Water enters the heat exchanger at 4 °C and leaves at 18 °C. Blood flow rate during the surgery is 5 L/minute.

Use the following fluid properties :

$$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Fluid } & \text { Density }\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\right) & \text { Specific heat }(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kg}-\mathrm{K}) \\ \hline \text { Blood } & 1050 & 3740 \\ \hline \text { Water } & 1000 & 4200 \\ \hline \end{array} $$

Effectiveness of the heat exchanger is _________ (round off to 2 decimal places).

In a counter-flow heat exchanger, water is heated at the rate of $$1.5kg/s$$ from $$\,40{}^ \circ C\,$$ to $$\,80{}^ \circ C\,$$ by an oil entering at $$\,120{}^ \circ C\,$$ and leaving at $$\,60{}^ \circ C\,$$. The specific heats of water and oil are $$4.2kJ/kgK$$ and $$2kJ/kgK,$$ respectively.

Consider a parallel-flow heat exchanger with area $${A_p}$$ and a counter-flow heat exchanger with area $${A_c}.$$ In both the heat exchangers, the hot stream flowing at $$1$$ $$kg/s$$ cools from $$80{}^ \circ C$$ to $$50{}^ \circ C$$. For the cold stream in both the heat exchangers, the flow rate and the inlet temperature are $$2$$ $$kg/s$$ and $$10{}^ \circ C$$, respectively. The hot and cold streams in both the heat exchangers are of the same fluid. Also, both the heat exchangers have the same overall heat transfer coefficient. The ratio $${A_c}/{A_p}$$ is ______________
