A heat exchanger is to be designed for the following specifications: Hot gas temperature, 1145 oC Cold gas temperature, 45 oC Unit surface conductance on the hot side, 230 W/m2-K Unit surface conductance on the cold side, 290 W/m2-K Thermal conductivity of the metal wall, 115 W/m-K Find the maximum thickness of the metal wall between the hot gas and cold gas so that the maximum temperature of the wall does not exceed 545 oC.
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...
