Engine oil supplied through a 2-cm-diameter thin walled copper pipe (k = 385 W/kg·ºC) is to be heated from 20ºC to 60ºC at a rate of 0.3 kg/s in a double-pipe heat exchanger by condensing steam at a temperature of 130ºC, which is supplied through an outer pipe with a diameter of 4 cm. If the heat exchanger is well insulated, determine the length of the heat exchanger required
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...

2.- Hot oil (Cp = 2200 J/kg °C) is to be cooled by water (Cp = 4180 J/kg °C) in a 2-shell-passes and 12-tube-passes heat exchanger. The tubes are thin-walled and are made of copper with a diameter of 1.8 cm. The length of each tube pass in the heat exchanger is 3 m. Water flows through the tubes at a total rate of 0.1 kg/s, and the oil through the shell at a rate of 0.2 kg/s. The water...
Chemical reactors sometimes use batch processes to heat chemical compounds in a transient heating operation. Assume that a chemical compound of density p = 1400 kg/m and specific heat c = 2500 J/kg/K is in a batch reactor of volume of V = 3.5 m in an insulated vessel. The chemical is to be heated from cold storage temperature of T; = 260 K, to a process temperature of T = 420 K by passing saturated steam at Th =...
[20] Question 3 Crude oil is to be heated from 22 °C to 58 °C by heat exchange with the bottom product froma distillation column. The bottom product, flowing at 30 kg/s, is to be cooled from an initial temperature of 145 °C to 105 °C. The following shell and tube heat exchanger is available: 600 mm ID (1 shell pass) Shell inside diameter Tube configuration 2 passes 19.05 mm Tube outside diameter 2.1 mm Tube wall thickness 1.25 x...
A 10-mm diameter tube has a maintained surface temperature of 180°C. Engine oil enters the tube at 70°C at a flow rate of 1.3 kg/s and exits at 105°C. Find the length, in m, of the tube and well as the corresponding heat transfer rate, in W. Assume fully developed flow and use the Dittus-Boelter equation to calculate the average Nusselt number. q= W L= m
An oil engine develops 300 kW and the specific fuel consumption is 0.21 kg/kWh. The exhaust from the engine is used in a tubular water heater, flowing through 25 mm diameter tubes, entering with a velocity of 12 m/s, at 340 °C and leaving at 90 °C. The water enters the heater at 10 °C and leaves at 90 °C, flowing in counter-flow to the hot gases. The air-fuel ratio of the engine is 20, and the exhaust pressure is...
QUESTION 4 (25 marks) Water (Cr 4.208 kJ/kg.K) at flow rate of 5.11 kg/s s heated from 78°C to 98°C in an economizer inside a boiler. The boiler is a cross flow heat exchanger with single pass, shell fluid mixed and other fluid unmixed. The average water velocity in the 1.5 cm diameter (D) tube is 1.27 m/s. On the shell side, hot air (C,-1.0341 kJ/kgK) was used as the heating fluid with 7.3 kg/s of it entering the exchanger...
