P7.5
P7.5 A single-pass evaporator of a water chiller has 100 horizontal
copper tubes of inner diameter 15mm and wall thickness 1.5mm through
which water flows with a total mass flow rate of 1.8 kgs. Refrigerant
134a undergoes pool boiling at 2°C on the outer surface of the tubes. The
water is cooled from 14°C to 6°C. The water-side and refrigerant-side
heat transfer coefficients are 1100 Wm 2K and 980 Wm ²K¹
respectively. Calculate (i) the overall heat transfer coefficient based on
the inner tube area, (ii) the LMTD (iii) the effectiveness of the
evaporator, and (iv) the length of a tube.
