A heat exchanger uses saturated steam at 375 K to heat cold water entering at 280 K and leaving at 301 K. Only the latent heat of vaporization is removed from the steam, i.e. the steam is condensed and saturated water exits the exchanger. (a) What is the LMTD for a counter-current heat exchanger? (b) What is it for a parallel heat exchanger (c) If the counter-crrent heat exchanger has a duty(Q) of 81000 kJ/hour and an overall heat transfer coefficient (U) of 500 kJ/sq.m K, what is the calculated heat transfer area in square meters? (d) If the parallel heat exchanger has the same, what is the calculated heat transfer area in square meters?

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...

The condenser of a large steam power plant is a heat exchanger in which steam is condensed to liquid water. Assume the condenser to be a parallel flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger consisting of a single shell and 10,000 tubes, each executing two passes. The tubes are of thin wall construction with D = 30 mm and the steam condenses on their outer surface. The heat transfer rate that must be effected by the exchanger is Q = 2 × 10^9...

Problem #1 Saturated steam at 300°C is used to heat a counter-currently flowing stream of methanol vapor from 65°C to 260°C in an adiabatic heat exchanger. The flow rate of the methanol is 5500 standard liters per minute (at STP), and the steam condenses and leaves the heat exchanger as liquid water at 90°C. a) Draw a diagram of the process. b) Calculate the required flow rate of the entering steam in m3/min. c) Calculate the rate of heat transfer...

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.

Two products enter an indirect contact heat exchanger that uses steam for heating. The first product which contains 15% solids enters at the rate of 3 kg/hr and at 10 °C. The second stream which contains 20% solids enters at the rate of 4 kg/hr and at 20 °C. Saturated steam at 140 °C enters the heat exchanger at 0.5 kg/hr with a quality of 95% and exits at 10% quality at 140 °C. The resulting mixture enters an indirect...

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. If the designer wants to ensure...

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...
