Several solar collectors are used to obtain energy from the sun to heat ethylene glycol. The ethylene glycol flows at 0.006 m3/s from the collectors to a plate and frame heat exchanger. The ethylene glycol enters the heat exchanger at 24°C, where it transfers heat to fresh water. The water enters the exchanger at 0.005 m3/s, with a temperature of 10°C. The plate height is 1.5 m, and a plate spacing of 4.3 mm. There are 15 plates made of 304SS (stainless steel) that are 0.8 mm thick x 0.5 m wide. Determine the outlet temperature of both fluids.

4 Several solar collectors are used to obtain energy from the sun to heat ethylene lycol. The ethylene glycol flows at 0.006 m3/s from the collectors to a plate and frame heat exchanger. The ethylene glycol enters the heat exchanger at 24°C where it transfers heat to fresh water. The water enters the exchanger at 0.005 m3/s, with a temperature of 1 4.3 mm.

A plate and frame HX has19 stainless steel (316SS) plates.9 m tall, 2 mm thick and .7 m wide which are spaced 5 mm apart. It is used to cool water at .012 m3/s,and inlet temperature of 35 C. The cooling medium s cold water which enters the HX at 7 C with the volumetric flow rate of 0.02 m3/s. What outlet temperature can be expected when the exchanger is new?
Q2. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers with hundreds of tubes housed in a shell are commonly used in practice for heat transfer between two fluids (shown in Figure 1). Such a heat exchanger used in an active solar hot-water system transfers heat from a water-antifreeze solution flowing through the shell and the solar collector to fresh water flowing through the tubes at an average temperature of 60°C at a rate of 15 L/S. The heat exchanger contains 80 brass tubes 1 cm...
Problem 4: Heat Exchangers Analysis (25 points) A counterflow plate-type heat exchanger as shown in the figure below is used to cool propane fuel W 50 mm H 25 mm Saturated Vapor propane Thickness t =5 mm H 25 mm Cooling water Length L The flow rate of the cooling water is 0.2 kg/s, while the flow of the propane is 0.1 kg/s. The water enters the heat exchanger at a temperature of 20°C while the propane enters at its...
In a solar water heater, energy from the Sun is gathered by water that circulates through tubes in a rooftop collector. The solar radiation enters the collector through a transparent cover and warms the water in the tubes; this water is pumped into a holding tank. Assume that the efficiency of the overall system is 29.0% (that is, 71% of the incident solar energy is lost from the system). What collector area is necessary to raise the temperature of 430...

Chapter 18, Problem 029 In a solar water heater, energy from the Sun is gathered by water that circulates through tubes in a rooftop collector. The solar radiation enters the collector through a transparent cover and warms the water in the tubes; this water is pumped into a holding tank. Assume that the efficiency of the overall system is 14.0% (that is, 86% of the incident solar energy is lost from the system). What collector area is necessary to raise...
Q1: Heated air at 1 atm, 100F, and 23% relative humidity is to be transported in a 490 ft long circular plastic duct at a rate of 740 cfm (ft 3 /min). If the head loss in the duct is not to MEC_AMO_TEM_034_01 Page 1 of 8 Design of Thermal System (MECH 0009) - Spring-2020 -Assignment 2- A&B - QP exceed 790 in. of air, determine the minimum diameter of the duct.

Homework 7 heat transfer 2018-20 1) A horizontal tube of 12.5-mm dimeter with an outer srface temperature of 240°C is placed in a room with an air temperature of 20°C. Estimate the heat transfer rate per unit length of the tube due to free convection. 2) Air at -10°C flows at 10 m/s over the roof plate of two 5m length rooms whose air is at Too-200C. The roof plate is 0.20-m thick concrete (k = 0.6 w/ m. K)....
