- 10.1 In a heat exchanger, as shown in the accompanying figure, air flows over brass tubes of 1.8-cm 1D and 2.1-cm OD containing steam. The convection heat transfer coefficients on the air and steam sides of the tubes are , respectively. Calculate the overall heal transfer coefficient for the heal exchanger (a) based on the inner tube area and (b) based on the outer tube area.arrow_forward10arrow_forward1) For a concentric counter-flow heat exchanger, hot oil is coming in the tube of the shell/tube heat exchanger and it's cooled by water that surrounds it in the shell. Calculate what is the required length of the heat exchanger tube in order to perform the necessary cooling. Assume there is negligible heat loss to the surroundings and negligible conductive heat resistance between the two fluids. Mass flow rate of oil = 0.17 kg/s Oil heat capacity = 2375 J/kg-ºC Oil convective heat transfer coefficient = 39.7 W/m²-°C Oil enters tube at temperature = 130 °C Oil leaves tube at temperature = 83 °C Water convective heat transfer coefficient = 2190 W/m²-°C Water enters shell at temperature 15 °C Water leaves shell at temperature = 74 °C Inner diameter = 4.5 cm Outer diameter = 6.5 cmarrow_forward
- Steam condensing at 120°C (h =2203 kJ/kg) on the shell side of (1 shell and 12 thin- walled tubes) heat exchanger. Water (18 °C, C_ =4180 J/kg-°C) enters the tube @ 3.3 kg/s and the temperature difference between fhe two Uuits at the exit is 55°C, assume LMTD correction factor of 1.0, for each tube: length =2.7 m, diamieter = 2.4 cm.

The water is entering at 45 0 F and exiting at 175 0 F. No instruments are available for measuring the tube side water flow but condensed steam from the shell side is being collected at a rate of 43 GPM. If the tube area of the exchanger is 350 Ft2 , and the overall heat transfer coefficient clean was 900 BTU/Hr.Ft2 F0, how much has the overall heat transfer coefficient changed, if at all? Note: Latent heat for water/steam at 212 0 F is 970 BTU per pound of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs.arrow_forward

The water circuit then passes through an air-cooled coil in order to dissipate this heat. The water circuit comprises of 150 m of 50 mm diameter mild steel pipe, 25 elbows, 6 isolating valves (IV), 1 fixed orifice double regulating valve (FODRV), 1 strainer and 1 non-return valve (NRV). Pressure loss factors for the fittings are given in table Q4.1. The manufacturer of the shell and tube heat exchanger has stated that the pressure drop in the exchanger can be modelled by AP = (with the capacity factor X = 0.0008 m³s-¹Paº5. The data sheet for the air-cooled coil has limited water side pressure drop data and the only water pressure drop figure given is a constant 80 kPa.
