A heat exchanger uses oil
(cp = 1880 J kg-1 K-1) at an
initial temperature of 205°C to heat up water with heat capacity of
1 kcal kg-1 K-1, and density = 0.998 g
cm-3, flowing at 0.00376 m3 min-1
from 16°C to 44°C. The configuration of the heat exchanger is in
countercurrent. The oil mass flow rate is 270 kg
h-1.
(1 cal = 4.18 J)
(i) What is the heat transfer area required for an overall heat transfer coefficient of 0.34 kW m-2 K-1)?
(ii) Determine the number of transfer units (NTU).
(iii) Calculate the effectiveness of the heat exchanger.

heat transfer problem
A counterflow concentric tube heat exchanger is used to cool
lubricant oil of a big gas turbine. The cooling water's flow rate
through the interior aluminum tube (Di= 25mm) is 0.2kg/seg, while
the oil's flow rate through the exterior ring (Do= 45mm) is
0.1kg/seg. The oil and the water enter at 100°C and 30°C
respectively. How long does the tube have to be for oil to leave at
60°C?

Oil enters a counterflow heat exchanger at 600 K with a mass
flow rate of 10 kg/s and exits at 350 K. A separate stream of
liquid water enters at 20°C, 5 bar. Each stream experiences no
significant change in pressure. Stray heat transfer with the
surroundings of the heat exchanger and kinetic and potential energy
effects can be ignored. The specific heat of the oil is constant,
c = 2 kJ/kg · K.
