Vegetable oil at a flow rate of 10 kg/s (p=920 kg/m³; u=5x10-3 Pa.s; k=0.14 W/m K; cp-2.1 kj/kg K) from 51 pieces of 1.2 mm thick stainless steel plates It will be heated from 20°C to 50°C in a plate heat exchanger consisting of Heating will be carried out using steam at 121°C. The plate width (w) is 0.3 m and the clearance between the plates is 3 mm. The effective area is 1.5 times the projected area. The heat transfer coefficient for the steam side is 12000 W/m².K. Calculate the required plate length since the heat exchanger is operated in series flow order (Pressure drop must be determined
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.
