The condenser of a large steam power plant is a heat exchanger in which steam is condensed to liquid water. Assume the condenser to be a shell-and-tube heat exchanger consisting of a single shell and 30,000 tubes, each executing two passes (see figure below). The tubes are of thin wall construction with D=25mm, and steam condenses on their outer surface with an associated convection coefficient ho=11,000W/ m K The heat transfer rate that must be effected by the heat exchanger...
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....
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...
Problem 1. (30 points) A double-pipe heat exchanger is used to condense steam at 7370 N/m2. Water at an average bulk temperature of 10°C flows at 2.50 m/s through the inner pipe. which is made of copper and has a 2.54-cm ID and a 3.05-cm OD. Steam at its saturation temperature flows in the annulus formed between the outer surface of the inner pipe and an outer pipe of 5.08-cm-ID. The average heat transfer coefficient of the condensing steam is...

2.(40 pts.) A mixing chamber is used to heat liquid water to a saturated vapor by adding superheated steam. The liquid water enters through Line 1 at 1 MPa, a temperature of 100 C and a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The superheated steam enters through Line 2 at 1 MPa and 400°C. The combined stream exits through Line 3 as a saturated vapor at 1 MPa. The chamber also receives 3 MW of heat transferred from an external...
1. Exhaust gas at 400 C and 1 bar from i engines flows at the rate of 125 mol s into a waste-heat boiler where saturated steam in generated at a pressure of 1200 kPa. Water enters the boiler at 20 C (Ta) and the exhaust gases are cooled to within 10°C of the steam temperature. The heat capacity of the exhaust gases is C/R-3.341.12x10 T/K. The steam flows into an adiabatic turbine and exhausts at a pressure of 25...
