5. RATING CALCULATION
Calculation are started by determine minimum heat capacity rate. The minimum heat
capacity rate could be from hot fluid or cold fluid.

𝐶ℎ𝑜𝑡 = 𝑚ℎ𝑜𝑡 𝑐𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑡 and

𝐶𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑 = 𝑚𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑐𝑝𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑

𝐶ℎ𝑜𝑡 , 𝑖𝑓 𝐶ℎ𝑜𝑡 < 𝐶𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑

𝐶𝑚𝑖𝑛 = ቊ
𝐶𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑 , 𝑖𝑓 𝐶𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑 < 𝐶ℎ𝑜𝑡

Hot fluid mass flow rate m_hot = 5,9 kg/s

Cold fluid mass flow rate m_cold = 39,8 kg/s
Hot fluid heat capacity rate C_hot = 11,3 kW/0C
Cold fluid heat capacity rate C_hot = 167,3 kW/0C

Minimum heat capacity rate selected C_min = 11,3 kW/0C

Maximum heat capacity rate selected C_max = 167,3 kW/0C

Heat capacity ratio is dimensionless parameter which a ratio between minimum and maximum
heat capacity of correspond fluid
𝐶𝑚𝑖𝑛
𝐶𝑟 =
𝐶𝑚𝑎𝑥
Heat capacity ratio Cr = 0,1

Now introducing Number of Transfer Unit (NTU), which is also dimensionless parameter
that is widely used for heat exchanger analysis. NTU described as ratio UA from heat
exchanger to minimum heat capacity rate

𝑈𝐴
𝑁𝑇𝑈 =
𝐶𝑚𝑖𝑛

Number of transfer unit NTU = 4,4

Then calculate the effectiveness (ε), as the ratio of the actual heat transfer rate
for a heat exchanger to the maximum possible heat transfer rate. For counterflow
shell and tube heat exchanger with one shell pass is :
−1
1 + 𝑒𝑥𝑝 −𝑁𝑇𝑈 (1 + 𝐶𝑟2 )
ε = 2 1 + 𝐶𝑟 + (1 + 𝐶𝑟2 ) 𝑥
1 − 𝑒𝑥𝑝 −𝑁𝑇𝑈 (1 + 𝐶𝑟2 )
Maximum heat transfer rate is define as follow :

𝑞𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝐶𝑚𝑖𝑛 (𝑇ℎ𝑜𝑡 𝑖𝑛 − 𝑇𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑖𝑛 )

And relationship between qmax and ε is :

ε=
𝑞𝑚𝑎𝑥
