A stream of ammonia is cooled from 100oC to 20oC at a rate of 180 kg/hr in the tube side of a double-pipe counter-flow heat exchanger. Water enters the heat exchanger at 10oC at a rate of 250 kg/hr. The outside diameter of the inner tube is 3 cm and the length of the pipe is 7m. Using the log-mean temperature difference, calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) for the heat exchanger. Determine the log-mean temperature difference. Determine the heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger.   Cp for ammonia is 5234J/kgK and cp for water is 4180J/kgK.

Question
  1. A stream of ammonia is cooled from 100oC to 20oC at a rate of 180 kg/hr in the tube side of a double-pipe counter-flow heat exchanger. Water enters the heat exchanger at 10oC at a rate of 250 kg/hr. The outside diameter of the inner tube is 3 cm and the length of the pipe is 7m. Using the log-mean temperature difference, calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) for the heat exchanger.
    1. Determine the log-mean temperature difference.
    2. Determine the heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger.

 

Cfor ammonia is 5234J/kgK and cp for water is 4180J/kgK.
