Plate Heat Exchanger Calculation

This document provides specifications for a heat exchanger with 100 plates that is used to exchange heat between two fluid streams at 400 kg/s each. It lists dimensions of the plates, temperatures of the inlet and outlet streams, heat transfer properties, and calculations of heat transfer coefficients, overall heat transfer coefficient, and heat transfer rate. The heat exchanger is able to transfer heat at a rate of 40.2 MW between the two fluid streams, with the hot stream outlet at 55.9°C and cold stream outlet at 44.1°C.
