SOL 7.34 Option (D) is correct.

The figure shown below are of parallel flow and counter flow respectively.

For parallel flow,

th1 = 80cC , th2 = 50cC , tc1 = 30cC , tc2 = 40cC
(t − t ) − (th2 − tc2)
θmp = θ1 − θ2 = h1 c1
ln b θ1 l ln b th1 − tc1 l
θ2 th2 − tc2
Where, θmp denotes the LMTD for parallel flow.

θmp = = 40 = 24.85c C

For counter flow arrangement
th1 = 80cC , th2 = 50cC , tc1 = 40cC , tc2 = 30cC
Where, θmc denotes the LMTD for counter flow.

Now for defining the type of flow, we use the correction factor.
θm = Fθmc = Fθmp ...(i)
Where F = correction factor, which depends on the geometry of the heat
exchanger and the inlet and outlet temperatures of the of the hot and cold
streams.

F < 1, for cross flow and F = 1, for counter and parallel flow
So, From equation (i),
F = θm = 26 = 0.90 < 1
θmc 28.85
and also F = θm = 26 = 1.04 > 1
θmp 24.85
So, cross flow in better for this problem.

SOL 7.35 Option (C) is correct.

Given : A duct of rectangular cross section. For which sides are
a = 1 m and b = 0.5 m
T1 = 30cC , T2 = 20cC , V = 10 m/ sec , k = 0.025 W/m K
Viscosity = 18 μPas , Pr = 0.73 , ρ = 1.2 kg/m3 , Nu = 0.023 Re0.8 Pr0.33
Hence, For a rectangular conduit of sides a and b,
Hydraulic diameter, DH = 4A

Where, A is the flow cross sectional area and p the wetted perimeter

SOL 7.36 Option (D) is correct.

From the first part of the question,
Re = 4.44 # 105
Which is greater than 3 # 105 . So, flow is turbulent flow.
Therefore, Nu = 0.023 Re0.8 Pr0.33

SOL 7.37 Option (B) is correct.

The one dimensional time dependent heat conduction equation can be
written more compactly as a simple equation,
1 2 rn 2T + q = ρc 2T
rn 2r : 2r D k
...(i)
k 2t
Where, n = 0 , For rectangular coordinates
n = 1, For cylindrical coordinates
n = 2 , For spherical coordinates
Further, while using rectangular coordinates it is customary to replace the
r -variable by the x -variable.
For sphere, substitute r = 2 in equation (i)
1 2 r22T + q = ρc 2T
r22r : 2r D k k 2t
1 2 r22T + q = 1 2T α = k = thermal diffusivity

SOL 7.38 Option (C) is correct.

From the given diagram heat is transferred from r1 to r2 and from r2 to r3 .
