P11-104. Cold water (Cp = 4180 J/kg-K) leading to a shower enters a thin-walled double-pipe counterflow heat exchanger at 15°C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and is heated to 45°C by hot water (cp=4190 J/kg K) that enters at 100°C at a rate of 3 kg/s. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 950 W/m2.K, determine the rate of heat transfer and the heat surface area of the heat exchanger using the effectiveness-NTU method.
A counter-flow heat exchanger is stated to have an overall heat transfer coefficient of 284 W/m2.K when operating at design and clean conditions. Hot fluid enters the tube side at 101°C and exits at 71°C, while cold fluid enters the shell side at 27°C and exits at 42°C. After a period of use, built-up scale in the heat exchanger gives a fouling factor of 0.0004 m2 K/W. The surface area is 93 m². Assume both hot and cold fluids have...
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...
1. (100 points) A counterflow heat exchanger operates at steady state to transfer heat between air and refrigerant 134a. The air enters at 22°C and 0.1 MPa, then exits at 7°C. The R-134a enters at 0°C at a rate of 30 kg/h by mass, and is a saturated vapor upon exit. Both streams experience no notable change in pressure. (a) Determine the heat transfer rate and associated rate of exergy transfer for the R-134a stream in kJ/h. (b) Evaluate the...
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...
Problem (25 Points - Chapter 11) A concentre tube heat exchanger for cooling lubricating oil is comprised of a thin-walled me tube of 25-mm diameter carrying water and an our tube of 45mm diameter coming the The heat exchanger operates in counterflow with an overall heat transfer coefficient of W K and the average property as given in the table below. If the outlet temperature of the oil is 60°C, determine the following (a) total heat transfer rate, (b) outlet...

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...
