Water at 50F enters a heat-exchanger tube having an inside
diameter of 1 in. and a length of 10 ft.
The water flows at 20 gal/min. For a constant wall temperature of
210F, estimate the exit
temperature of the water. Theproperties of water may be evaluated
at the arithmetic-mean bulk temperature.
The book solution uses the initial mean bulk temperature of 90 degF. How did they come up with 90 degF for the initial mean bulk temperature?
When water enters the tube (at the entrance of tube) near wall the average temperature of water can be taken as (210+50)/2=130 degF because heat transfer takes place from wall maintained at constant temperature of 210 degF to water which increases the temperature of water from 50 degF near walls. Thus, can be taken as average of the two.
Therefore, mean bulk temperature initially (at the entrance of pipe) is then sum of temperatures of water at wall & at center that is (130+50)/2= 90 degF..

Hot and cold water streams exchange heat in a double pipe heat exchanger in counter current flow. The pipes are 3 ft long. The inside pipe is a 5/8 inch BWG 12 copper tube. The outside pipe is a 1 inch Sch 40 steel pipe. The outside pipe is insulated to minimize heat loss to the surroundings. The hot water enters the inside tube at 180F with a flow rate such that Re = 10000 The cold water flows through...
A shell-and tube heat exchanger has one-shell pass and 2-tube passes. This heat exchanger is used to cool oil, flowing through the tube-side from 140°C to 50°C. The cooling is accomplished by water, flowing through the shell-side, which enters the heat exchanger at 15°C and leaves at 32°C. Each tube pass consists of 60, 2.54-cm-O.D. tubes with a wall thickness of 1.65 mm.if the inside and outside heat transfer coefficients are h1=260 W/(m^2°C) and h°=970 W/(m^2°C), respectively, and the fouling...
Water flows inside a smooth tube with a diameter of 25 mm. Its mean flow velocity is 3.0 m/s. The tube is held at a temperature that is 20◦C above the water temperature. The water enters the tube at 30◦C. What is the tube length so that the water’s exit temperature is 60◦C. Please write clearly so i can read it. Also whoever keeps answering this, let someone else answer.
Problem X3-5, Heat Transfer, Spring 2018 A single-pass, double-tube counterflow heat exchanger will be used to heat a 0.14 kg/s stream of water nowing in the 12-mm diameter inside tube. The water in the inside tube enters the heat exchanger at 25 C. The water will be heated with a 0.12 kg/s m of hot water flowing in the annulus between the inside and outside tube that enters the heat exchanger at 80°C. UP the hot and cold streams, and...
Determine the effectiveness of the concentric tube heat exchanger. The working fluid through the heat exchanger is water and is flowing at 1 m/min for both cold and hot pipes. The hot water temperature at the tube inlet is 90°C and the temperature at the tube outlet is 60°C. The cold water temperature at the tube inlet is 50°C and the temperature at the tube outlet is 80°C. Assume the density and the specific heat of water are 988.1 kg/m3...
Oil of unknown properties is heated in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with one shell pass and 20 tube passes. The oil flows through the shell, and hot water flows inside the single copper tube that has an inner diameter of 20 mm, a wall thickness of 2 mm, and a length of 3 m per pass. The water enters at 360 K at a mass flow rate of 0.2 kg/s and leaves at 300 K. The inlet and outlet temperatures...
A concentric tube, parallel heat exchanger is used to warm cold well water running on the inside pipe from 10°C to 25°C overa meter of pipe using steam running through the outside pipe that enters the system at 140°C and leaves at 100°C. The inside pipe is made of copper and has an inner diameter of 4 cm, with a wall thickness of 0.25 cm. The outside pipe is made of a very-well insulating material, has a diameter of 7...
