Determine the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer surface area on the tube side if A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with 2-shell passes and 12-tube passes is used to heat water (Cp = 4180 J/kg · °C) with ethylene glycol (Cp = 2680 J/kg · °C). Water enters the tubes at 22°C at a rate of 0.8 kg/s and leaves at 70°C. Ethylene glycol enters the shell at 110°C and leaves at 60°C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the tube side is 280 W/m2 · °C,
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.
Determine the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer surface area on the tube
