Question
3.34 A flow rate of 1.4 kg/s of water enters the tubes of a two-shell-pass,
four-tube-pass heat exchanger at 7°C. A flow rate of 0.6 kg/s of
liquid ammonia at 100°C is to be cooled to 30°C on the shell side;
U = 573 W/m²K. (a) How large must the heat exchanger be? (b)
How large must it be if, after some months, a fouling factor of
0.0015 m²K/W is expected to build up in the tubes but we still
want to deliver ammonia at 30°C? (c) If we make it large enough to
accommodate fouling, to what temperature will it cool the ammonia
when it is new? (d) At what temperature does water leave the new,
enlarged exchanger? [(d) TH₂0 = 49.9°C.]
