Question 2 En. Karim recently install a hot water system operates by a solar energy. The system consists of double pipe counter flow heat exchanger. Cold waters enters a tube at 22°C at a rate of 0.1 kg/s, while hot air enters the heat exchanger at 90°C at a rate of 0.3 kg/s. The specific heat for both cold water and hot air is cp = 4180 J/kg.K and c, = 1010 J/kg.K , respectively. The overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner side of the tube is 80 W/m2.K. The length of the tube is 12 m and the internal diameter of the tube is 1.2 cm. En. Karim assigned you do the complete analysis on this hot water system including to calculate the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. As an engineer, you have to determine: the heat capacity rates of both fluids, ii. the maximum rate of heat transfer (kW), iii. the effectiveness of the heat exchanger (NTU method), iv. the actual rate of heat transfer (kW), and v. the outlet temperatures of both cold water and hot air.

Question 2
En. Karim recently install a hot water system operates by a solar energy. The system consists of double
pipe counter flow heat exchanger. Cold waters enters a tube at 22°C at a rate of 0.1 kg/s, while hot air
enters the heat exchanger at 90°C at a rate of 0.3 kg/s. The specific heat for both cold water and hot air
is cp = 4180 J/kg.K and c, = 1010 J/kg.K , respectively. The overall heat transfer coefficient based on
the inner side of the tube is 80 W/m².K. The length of the tube is 12 m and the internal diameter of
the tube is 1.2 cm. En. Karim assigned you do the complete analysis on this hot water system including
to calculate the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. As an engineer, you have to determine:
i. the heat capacity rates of both fluids,
ii. the maximum rate of heat transfer (kW),
iii. the effectiveness of the heat exchanger (NTU method),
iv. the actual rate of heat transfer (kW), and
v. the outlet temperatures of both cold water and hot air.
