Question
You are then asked by your supervisor to design a concentric tube heat exchanger to operate under the
following conditions:
Cold Fluid
m = 0.125 kg/s
Cp 4200 J/kgK
T₁ = 40°C
To = 95°C
Hot Fluid:
m = 0.125 kg/s
Cp = 2100 J/kgK
T₁ = 210°C
If the heat exchanger is characterised by uniform overall heat transfer coefficient, using the LMTD
method, determine:
e) The maximum possible heat transfer rate.
f) The heat exchanger effectiveness.
g) The ratio of the heat transfer area under parallel flow to the heat transfer area under counter flow.
