- PART 4The following represents a parallel heat exchanger which contains 130 tubes each with a diameter of 48mm and 1.6 m long with thin walls of steel. Investigate how much hot water can be produced and how much hot gas will be needed.Using the data below determine the flow rate of water and gas for parallel and contra flow configurations and compare them.The water needs to be heated from 15oC to 95 oCThe surface heat transfer coefficient for the water = 1500 W/m2 KThe specific heat capacity of the water is 4.19 kJ/kg K. The gas temperature at inlet = 350oC and may be cooled to 120oCThe surface heat transfer coefficient for the gas = 300 W/m2 KMean specific heat of the gasses cp = 1.13 kJ/kg K.The wall is thin so the temperature drop due to conduction is negligible.arrow_forwardA single-shell, four-tube-pass heat exchanger is used to cool water flowing at 14 kg.s¹ entering at 18°C using ammonia with a mass flow rate of 18 kg.s¹ and an entry temperature and pressure of -12°C and 650 kPa, absolute, respectively. The heat exchanger is to use the ammonia in the liquid form, so no evaporation can be allowed. At 620 kPa, absolute pressure, ammonia evaporates at 10.5°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 568 W.m2 and the heat transfer surface area is 75 m². Determine the outlet temperatures of the hot and cold streams. Identify whether the heat exchanger, operating under the conditions shown, satisfies the rec irement that the ammonia remains liquid throughout the process.
