a heat exchanger consists of a closed system with a series of parallel tubes connected by 180° elbows as shown in the figure. There are a total of 14 return elbows. The pipe diameter is 2cm, and the total pipe length is 10 m. The head loss coefficient for each return elbow is 2.2. The tube is copper. Water with an average temperature of 40°C flows through the system with a mean velocity of 10m/s. Find the power required to operate the pump if the pump is 80% efficient.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
