Question

A cooling coil made of copper tube is immersed in a regulated constant temperature bath held at a temperature of 18 °C. The liquid flowing through the tube enters at 22 °C, and the coil must be sufficiently long to ensure the exit liquid sustains a temperature of 18.5 °C. The bath is so well stirred that heat transfer resistance at the tube-bath interface is minimal, and the copper wall resistance can also be ignored. Assume Plug Flow Model is applied for fluid flow profile in a tube. Thus, the tube wall temperature can be taken equal to the bath temperature. Use Eq. 1.17 to A) Estimate the required tube length (L) under the following conditions for the flowing liquid: Since the Reynolds number is in the turbulent range, use the correlation of Sieder and Tate (Bird et al. 1960) to calculate h Where B) Discuss on the consequence of decreasing fluid velocity v0 to 0.5 m/s when the other parameters are the same as given. C) Discuss on the consequence of decreasing diameter of tube to 0.01 m when the other parameters are the same as given.
