A coal-fired power plant is burning bituminous coal that has an energy content of 12,000 Btu/lb. The power plant is burning the coal at a rate of 110 lb/s. The efficiency of the powerplant is 33%, which means that 67% of the total energy from the coal is lost as waste heat.

a. A new heat exchanger is installed that is capable of using 0.12% of the waste heat to heat an air stream for use in another process in the plant. The air enters the heat exchanger at a volumetric flow rate of 2,000 acfm at 298 K and 1 atm. Assuming the heat exchanger is 90% efficient (i. e., 90% of the heat supplied to the heat exchanger is transferred to the air stream), at what temperature will the air leave the heat exchanger, assuming an exit pressure of 1 atm? Use an average specific heat of 0.244 Btu/lb-°R.
b. What will be the volumetric flow rate of the gas leaving the heat exchanger (in units of acfm)?
c. If the air exiting the heat exchanger has a moisture content of 12% (v/v), what is the moisture-corrected dry flow rate (in units of dry standard cubic meters per minute) at STP (1 atm, 298 K)?
