A shell and tube heat exchanger uses 600 tubes of 4 in B.W.G 20 (d, = 0.75 in and d; = 0.68 in) and 17.5 ft per pass. Hot water enters the tubes at 1.5E6 lbm/h and 180 F. The heat exchanger has one shell and two-tube pass per shell. Cold water enters the shell at 1.5E6 lbm/h and 70 F. The fouling factors happen to be equal for both tube and shell sides, fi = fo = 0.0003 h-ft²-F/Btu. Find the tube and shell outlet temperatures and the heat exchanger effectiveness. [Ans.: 130 F, 120 F, and 0.456].

Question
A shell and tube heat exchanger uses 600 tubes of 4 in B.W.G 20 (d, = 0.75 in
and d; = 0.68 in) and 17.5 ft per pass. Hot water enters the tubes at 1.5E6 lbm/h
and 180 F. The heat exchanger has one shell and two-tube pass per shell. Cold
water enters the shell at 1.5E6 lbm/h and 70 F. The fouling factors happen to be
equal for both tube and shell sides, f; = fo = 0.0003 h-ft-F/Btu. Find the tube and
shell outlet temperatures and the heat exchanger effectiveness. [Ans.: 130 F,
120 F, and 0.456].
