t is desired to heat 230 kg / h of water from 36 to 94 ºC with oil (Cp = 2.1 kJ / kg ºC) that has an initial temperature of 175 ºC. The oil mass flow is also 230 kg / h. It has a double tube exchanger in parallel, with a total heat transfer coefficient of 570 W / m2 ºC. Calculate the total surface area of the heat exchanger.
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.
