A process fluid having a specific heat of 3500 J/kg?K and flowing at 2 kg/s is to be cooled from 80 °C to 40 °C with chilled water, which is supplied at a temperature of 15 °C and a flow rate of 2.5 kg/s. Assuming an overall heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m2?K, calculate the required heat transfer areas for the following exchanger configurations: (a) Parallel flow; (b) Counter flow; (c) a 1-2 shell and tube exchanger with the water on the shell side, (d) a 2-4 shell and tube exchanger with water on the shell side.

The fluid in a heat exchanger in a process plant needs to be warmed up prior to having process startup. The shell side of the heat exchanger contains the process fluid (water) while the tube side is supplied with steam at 150°C to facilitate the heating. Assume the exterior is well insulated such that heat losses are negligible. a) Derive the ODE and analytically solve for the function that describes the temperature of the fluid in the heat exchanger with...

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...

A hot fluid of specific heat 4100 J/kg K flows through a parallel flow heat exchanger at the rate of 3.5 kg/min with an inlet temp. of 105C. A cold fluid of specific heat 2350 J/kg K flows in at a rate of 9 kg/min and with inlet temperature 25C. Make calculations for maximum possible effectiveness if the fluid flow conforms to parallel flow arrangement.

Saturated water vapor leaves a steam turbine at a flow rate of 1.47 kg/s and a pressure of 0.51 bar. The vapor is to be completely condensed to saturated liquid in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger that uses city water as the cold fluid. The water enters the thin-walled tubes at 17oC and is to leave at 57.6 oC. Assuming an overall heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m2K, determine the required heat exchanger surface area and the water flow rate. cp,c...

A 1 shell pass, 4 tube pass shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to cool therminol 59 in a refinery. The therminol 59 enters the tubes at a mass flow rate of 0.87 kg/s and changes in temperature from 93◦C to 49◦C. Water is the other fluid. It enters the shell at a mass flow rate of 1.20 kg/s, and changes in temeperture from 23◦C to 37.1◦C. Determine the following: (a) (10 pts) The heat transfer between the two fluids (b)...

A complex medium needs to be heated from 15°C to 37°C prior to use in mammalian cell culture. You are responsible for deciding the type of heat exchanger to adopt to achieve this heating. You are considering using a doublepipe heat exchanger with either co-current or counter-current flow. The medium flows through the inner tube and hot water enters the outer annulus at 80°C. You are given the following data: Cell culture medium: Mass flowrate = 2 kg s-1 Specific...
