Transcribed Image Text:For the brine, take k = 0.6 W/m K, p = 900 kg/m³, cp = 4000 J/kg K, and
v = 0.20 x 10-6 m²/s; for R-113, take hig=0.2 x 106 J/kg.

Transcribed Image Text:Hot brine from a geothermal well passes through 120 3 cm-O.D., 1 mm-wall-
thickness, 16 m-long titanium alloy (k = 14 W/m K) tubes. Refrigerant-113 boils
on the exterior of the tubes at 150°C, with an outside heat transfer coefficient of
20,000 W/m² K. The hot brine enters the tubes at 210°C, and the bulk velocity in
each tube is 2 m/s. Calculate the following quantities.
(i) Rep, the Reynolds number inside a tube
(ii) hei, the inside heat transfer coefficient
(iii) U, the overall heat transfer coefficient
