100 kg/s of a crude oil is heated from 20°C to 40°C through the tube side of a multitube heat exchanger. The crude oil flow is divided evenly among all 100 tubes in the tube bundle. The ID of each tube is 10 mm, and the inside tubewall temperature is maintained at 100°C. Average properties of the crude oil are r = 950 kg/m3, cp = 1.9 kJ/kg?K, k = 0.25 W/m?K, m = 12 mPa?s, and mw = 4 mPa?s. Estimate the rate of heat transfer and the tube length.

Consider the flow of engine oil (cp = 2048 J/kg·K) through a thin-walled copper tube at a rate of 0.3 kg/s. The engine oil that enters the copper tube at an inlet temperature of 80°C is to be cooled by cold water (cp = 4180 J/kg·K) flowing at a temperature of 20°C. It is desired to have exit temperature of the engine oil not greater than 40°C. The individual convective heat transfer coefficients on oil and water sides are 750 W/m2·K and 350 W/m2·K, respectively. If a thermocouple probe installed on the downstream side of the cooling water measures a temperature of 32°C, for a double pipe parallel flow heat exchanger determine (a) mass flow rate of the cooling water (b) log mean temperature difference, and (c) area of heat exchanger.
Engine oil at 20°C is to be heated to a temperature of 60°C by saturated steam at 1 atm in a double-pipe heat exchanger. The inner and outer diameters of the annular space are 4 cm and 6 cm, respectively, and engine oil enters the inner tube with a mean velocity of 0.8 m/s. The inner tube surface may be assumed to be isothermal at 100°C, and the outer tube is well insulated. Assuming fully developed Poiseulle flow for oil, determine the rate of heat transfer to the oil from the tube surface and find the tube length required to heat the oil to the indicated temperature using the empirical relations associated with convection heat transfer.

A two-shell passes and four-tube passes heat exchanger is used to heat glycerin from 20°C to 50°C by hot water, which enters the thin-walled 2-cmdiameter tubes at 80°C and leaves at 40°C. The total length of the tubes in the heat exchanger is 60 m. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 25 W/m2∙K on the glycerin (shell) side and 160 W/m2∙K on the water (tube) side.
