1. Students are to submit the results of a heat exchanger simulation using the Heatx block in Aspen Plus. The simulation involves countercurrently flowing hot and cold streams to achieve a hot stream outlet temperature of 70°F. 2. Students are also to calculate: - The total brake horsepower of a 3-stage isentropic compressor compressing methane from 1 to 60 atm. Interstage cooler heat duties and stage efficiencies are given. - The discharge temperature from the third stage of the compressor. - The compression ratio for each stage of the compressor.

Homework Assignment # 3
Due before class on September 18, 2014
Upload your .apwz and .bkp files into the homework Dropbox in D2L. Include your name
and problem number in the file name. Submit a memo along with a summary of your
results in Class.
1. Use the Heatx block to calculate the state of the cold stream and the heat transfer
area required when the streams in the following table are passed through a
countercurrent heat exchanger. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 95 Btu/(hr ft2
R). The desired outlet temperature of the hot stream is 70F. The temperature of the
hot feed is 140F while the temperature of the cold feed is 40F. Both streams are at
14.7 psig.

2. A three stage isentropic compressor is to compress 180 std ft3/min of methane from 1
atm to 60 atm. The inlet temperature is 80F. The heat duty for each interstage cooler
is 55,660 btu/hr and the mechanical efficiency for each stage is 80%.
a) What is the total brake horsepower in hp?
b) What is the discharge temperature from the third stage in F?
c) Calculate the compression ratio for each stage?
