P1:
A plate and frame heat exchanger is used to exchange heat in a water-to-water flow system. Hot water enters the exchanger at 100 F with a flow rate of 150 gpm. Cold water also enters at 150 gpm and 50 F.
The exchanger contains 25 plates, the spacing is 0.2 inches, the plate material is 304SS (stainless steel), the plate thickness is .05 in, the plate width is 15 in and the plate height is 3 ft.
Find the outlet temperature of both liquids for old and new heat exchanger.

Hot water enters a counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger at 180F with a velocity of 5 ft/s. Cold water at 80F flows at 3 ft/s in the outer section of the exchanger. The diameter of the inner pipe is 1 inch, the pipe wall thickness is 1/8", and the outer pipe diameter is 2 inches. The overall heat transfer coefficient times area per unit length UA/L = 150 Btu/hr-ft-F. If the exchanger is 16 feet long, what is the exit temperature...

Cold water enters a counter flow heat exchanger at 20ºC at a rate of 10 kg/s, where it is heated by a hot water stream that enters the heat exchanger at 80ºC at a rate of 2 kg/s. Assuming the specific heat of water to remain constant at Cp=4.18 kJ/(kg.ºC), determine the maximum heat transfer rate and the outlet temperatures of the cold and the hot water streams.

Jack is operating a tubular, water-water heat exchanger when suddenly, the valve controlling the flow rate of the hot-water stream becomes stuck and he is now unable to adjust/control the flow rate of the hot-water stream. Additionally, the tube providing the hot water has become partially clogged, drastically reducing the flow rate of hot water entering the exchanger. How could you adjust the heat exchanger apparatus to maintain the same outlet temperature of the cold-water stream as before the incident?...

A parallel flow heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from hot water at 80oC, flowing at 5 L/min to cold water at 15oC which is flowing at a rate of 15 L/min. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 2000 W/m2oC and the area is 0.2m2. Calculate the heat transfer rate, the outlet temperature of the cold water.

An industrial facility needs a flow of 100 gpm of hot water at 180°F, 50 psia. Two designs are being considered to make the hot water. In Design 1, the hot water is produced by injecting steam into an insulated mixing chamber through which the water passes. The water enters the chamber at 50°F, 50 psia. Steam is injected into the chamber at 325°F, 50 psia. The hot water leaves at the required flow rate and temperature. For this system...

Consider a counter-flow plate HX with channels of 12 in length, 6 in width, and 3/8 in thickness. The heat exchanger consists of three flow channels with air at 200oC entering the center channel, and air at 25oC entering the 2 outer channels, above and below the center channel. The center channel has a flow rate of 3 x 10-4 m3/s and the outer two channels have a flow rate of 1.67 x 10-4 m3/s in each channel. The plates...
