Water at a flow rate of 60 kg/s enters the shell-side
of a baffled shell-and-tube heat exchanger at 35 °C and leaves at
25 °C. The heat will be transferred to 150 kg/s of raw water coming
from a supply at 15 °C. You are requested to design the heat
exchanger for this purpose. A single shell and single tube pass is
preferable. The tube diameter is ¾ in. (19 mm outer diameter with
16 mm inner diameter) and tubes are laid out on 1 in. square pitch.
The water velocity in a single tube is 2.5 m/s. Maximum length of
the heat exchanger 5 m is required because of space limitations.
The tube material has k=70 W/m·K. Assume a total fouling resistance
of 0.000176 m2·K/W. Baffle spacing is 650 mm. Reasonable design
assumption can be made along with the calculation if it is needed.
Calculate: The number of tubes, shell diameter, overall heat
transfer coefficient and the length of the heat exchanger. Is this
design acceptable?
