Cold water leading to a shower enters a well-insulated, thin-walled, double-pipe, counterflow heat exchanger at 10C at a rate of 1.15kg/s and is heated to 70C by hot water that enters at 85C at a rate of 1.6kg/s. Use data from the tables to Determine the rate of entropy generation in the heat exchanger. Answer in kW/K.

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.

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...

A thin-walled cross-flow heat exchanger is used to heat a petrochemical whose specific heat is 1800 J (kg K)-1 with hot water (Cp = 4180 J (kg K)-1). The petrochemical enters the heat exchanger at 20oC at a rate of 3.7 kg s-1, whilst the water stream enters at 110oC at a rate of 2.5 kg s-1. The heat transfer surface area of the heat exchanger is 4.8 m2 and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 940.30 W m-2K-1. Determine...

A counter current double pipe heat exchanger is used to boil but not superheat water at 100 DegreeC at rate of about 0.1 kg/s. This is achieved by flowing hot oil at 400 DegreeC through the inner pipe at a rate of 5 kg/s. Latent heat of water: 2265 kJ/kg Heat capacity of water: 4180 J/kgK Heat capacity of the oil: 1800 J/kgK What is the temperature of he hot oil leaving the heat exchanger? What is the overall heat...

Problem 8.24 Water is used to cool ethylene glycol in a 60-ft-long double pipe heat exchanger made of 4-std and 2-std (both type M) copper tubing. The water inlet temperature is 60°F and the ethylene glycol inlet temperature is 180°F. The flow rate of the ethylene glycol is 20 lbm/s, while that for the water is 30 lbm/s. Calculate the expected outlet temperature of the ethylene glycol and determine the pressure drop expected for both streams. Assume counterflow, and place...
