|B) A counteriow double-pipe heat exchanger operates with hot water flowing inside the inner pipe and a polymer fad flowing in the annular space between the two pipes. The water flow rate is 2.0 kgis and it ‘enters at a temperature of 90°C. The polymer enters ata temperature of 10°C and leaves ata temperature ‘01 50°C while the water leaves the exchanger ata temperature of 60°C. Calculate the value ofthe overall heat-tanstercoeticient expressed in Wim?C, if the area forthe heat exchanger is 20m? (2) Air at 207 kPa and 200°C enters a 2.5-cm-ID tube at 6 m/s. The tube is constructed of copper with a thickness of 0.8 mm and a length of 3 m. Atmospheric air at 1 atm and 20°C flows normal to the outside of the tube with afree-stream velocity of 12 mvs. Calculate the air temperature at exit from the tube. What would be the effect of reducing the hot-air low in hal? Water at the rate of 230 kgih at 35°C is available for use as a coolant in a double-pipe heat exchanger whose total surface area is 1.4 m?. The water is to be used to cool oll [op = 2.1 kilkg""C] from an initial temperature of 120°C. Because of other circumstances, an ext water temperature greater than 99°C ‘cannot be allowed. The exit temperature of the oll must not be below 60°C. The overall heat-transter coefficient is 280 Wim?:°C. Estimate the maximum flow rate of oll that may be Cooled, assuming the flow rate of water is fixed at 230 kg/h. |} A.cross-fow finned tube heat exchanger uses hot water to heat a from 20 to 45°C.

The cooling uid i also water witha flow rate of Skg/ that enters at a temperature of 50°C. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is 800 Wim?.°C. Calculate the total area of ‘the heat exchanger assuming all four shells are the same size. 6. Water at 90°C enters a double-pipe heat exchanger and leaves at 55°C. Itis used to heat a certain oll from 25 to 50°C. Calculate the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. Assume that the mass flow rates are the same. 7. Accounterfiow double-pipe heat exchanger is employed to heat 25 kg/s of water from 20 to 40°C with a hhot oll at 200°C. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is 275 Wim#-"C. Determine effectiveness and NTU {or exit oll temperatures of 190, 180, 140, and 80°C. 1. A shelland-tube heat exchanger is to be designed to heat 7.5 kg/s of water from 85 to 99°C. The heating ‘process is accomplished by condensing steam at 345 kPa. One shell pass is used along with two tube passes, each consisting of thity 2.5-cm-OD tubes. Assuming a value of U of 2800 Wim?:°C, calculate the length of tubes requied in the heat exchanger. ‘An ammonia condenser is constructed of a 5 by 6 array of horizontal tubes having an outside diameter of 2.5 em and a wall thickness of 1.0 mm. Water enters the tubes at 20°C and 5 mvs and leaves at 40°C. The ammonia condensing temperature is 60°C. Calculate the length of tubes required. How much ‘ammonia is condensed? Consult thermodynamics tables for the needed properties of ammonia. 4. A sshell-and-tube heat exchanger with 2-shell passes and &-ube passes is used to heat ‘ethyl alcohol (cp = 2670 J/kg°C) in the tubes from 250C to 700C at a rate of 2.1 kg/s. The heating is to be done by water (cp = 4190 J/kg°C) that enters the shell side at 950C and leaves at 450C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 950 Wim2xoC, determine the heat transfer and surface area of the heat exchanger.
