(30 points in total) A shell-and-tube heat exchanger consists of a shell of inside diameter, D, a...
A shell and tube heat exchanger with one shell pass and two tube passes is used to heat 8.82 kg/s of fluid from 15.6 °C to 60 °C by using saturated steam at 150 kPa. The steam is condensing on the outside of the tubes with h= 15 kW/m2.K. There are 50 tubes with an outside diameter of 1.91 cm and a wall thickness of 0.211 cm. If the fouling coefficient on the inside of the tubes is 5678 W/m2.K,...
A shell and tube heat exchanger with one shell pass and one tube pass will be used to condense the steam to saturated liquid, which enters the shell side as a saturated vapor at 400 K. The tube side contains R-134a refrigerant with an inlet temperature of 300 K and a mean velocity of 0.4 m/s. The steam flow rate is 1.5 kg/s. The tubes are made from AISI 302 stainless steel and have a 1" nominal diameter (Di =...

(LMTD method) A 2 shell, 4 tube pass heat exchanger is being used to heat 40 kg/s of a process fluid in the tubes from an inlet temperature of 15°C to a target temperature of 70°C using condensing steam at 150°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient for a clean heat exchanger was Uo=1500W/m2.°C, however, the design engineer neglected to take into account fouling of the heat exchanger. After 5 years of use, fouling has occurred with fouling factors of 0.0005m2.°C/W...
Question 5 - LMTD Heat Exchangers A 2 shell, 4 tube pass heat exchanger is being used to heat 50 kg/s of a process fluid in the tubes from an inlet temperature of 25°C to a target temperature of 80°C using condensing steam at 150°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient for a clean heat exchanger was U-1500W/m2.°C, however, the design engineer neglected to take into account fouling of the heat exchanger. After 5 years of use, fouling has occurred with...
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...
Section C – shell and tube heat exchanger sizing The vapour condenser for the combined gas-steam power cycle described in Section B heats river water from 15 °C to 18 °C. The condenser is a shell and tube heat exchanger with one shell pass and two tube passes. The cooling water is inside the tubes while the shell side has the condensing vapour. More details: a. The tube OD is 1 ¼” (inches), the tube wall thickness is 0.05 inches....
1. A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with 1 shell and 10 tubes is used to heat glycerine in the shell, with hot water in the tubes. The tubes are thin walled and have a diameter of 1.5 cm and length of 2 m. The water enters the tubes at 100°C at a rate of 5 kg/s and leaves at 55°C. The glycerine enters the shell at 15°C and leaves at 55°C. Determine the mass flow rate of the glycerine and the...
heat transfer Test Yourself A Shell-and-tube heat exchanger, consisting of a single shell and 30.000 tubes, each executing two passes, is used in a large steam power plant to condense steam to liquid water. The steam condensed in the shell side of the heat exchanger with an associated convection coefficient (h) of 11.000 W/m2.°C. The heat transfer rate through the heat exchanger (O is 2x10' W. Cooling water is passing through a thin tubes with D = 2.5 cm, at...
a shell and tube heat exchanger is required to heat brine for a food processing plant. Hot waste water from another part of the plant is available at 90°C and a flow rate of 0.7kg/s to perform the heating duty. An existing heat exchanger is available that has twoshell passesand 4 tube passes. Each tube pass has a total length of 20m and the tubes are found to be thin walled copper with a nominal diameter of 25mm. The brine...
