Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.

Heat Exchanger

The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.

Question

A heat exchanger is heating water from 50⁰F to 160 ⁰F using steam on the shell at atmospheric pressure condensing at 212 ⁰F. If the overall U is 710 BTU/(hr ⁰F ft²) and the exchange rate is 9,000,000 BTU/hr, what tube area is needed?

What is the main difference between a copper and a cupronickel coaxial heat exchanger, and where is each used?
A heat exchanger is heating water on the tube side with steam condensing on the shell side. The water is entering at 45 0 F and exiting at 175 0 F. No instruments are available for measuring the tube side water flow but condensed steam from the shell side is being collected at a rate of 43 GPM. If the tube area of the exchanger is 350 Ft2 , and the overall heat transfer coefficient clean was 900 BTU/Hr.Ft2 F0, how much has the overall heat transfer coefficient changed, if at all? Note: Latent heat for water/steam at 212 0 F is 970 BTU per pound of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs.

Please show step by step solutions for each part As shown in Figure 1, one portion of the hot flue gases is supplied to the steam generator. The steam generator is a shell and tube type of heat exchanger. In this steam generator treated bore water flows through the tubes while the hot flue gases flow in the shell, and steam is produced. The average demand of the steam for other processes within the iron/steel industry is (251) kg/hr at (155) ℃ temperature and 400kPa absolute pressure. Treated bore water is supplied to the steam generator at an average temperature of 20℃. The average pressure drop in the water line of the steam generator is 10kPa. The flue gases enter the shell and tube heat exchanger (steam generator) at a pressure of 110 kPa (Absolute) and a temperature of (252) ℃ and average mass flow rate of (134) kg/min. The average pressure drop in the flue gas side of the steam generator is 5kPa. Flue gases can be assumed to behave as ideal gas and have constant specific heat…
The radiator in an automobile is a cross-flow heat exchanger (UAs = 10 kW/K) that uses air (cp = 1.00 kJ/kg·K) to cool the engine-coolant fluid (cp = 4.00 kJ/kg·K). The engine fan draws 30°C air through this radiator at a rate of 10 kg/s while the coolant pump circulates the engine coolant at a rate of 5 kg/s. The coolant enters this radiator at 80°C. Under these conditions, the effectiveness of the radiator is 0.4. Determine (a) the outlet temperature of the air and (b) the rate of heat transfer between the two fluids.
Saturated propane vapor at 2:00 x 102 psia is fed to a well-insulated heat exchanger at a rate of 3:00 x 103 SCFH (standard cubic feet per hour). The propane leaves the exchanger as a saturated liquid (i.e., a liquid at its boiling point) at the same pressure. Cooling water enters the exchanger at70°F, flowing cocurrently (in the same direction) with the propane. The temperature difference between the outlet streams (liquid propane and water) is 15°F.(a) What is the outlet temperature of the water stream? (Use the Antoine equation.) Is the outlet water temperature less than or greater than the outlet propane temperature? Briefly explain.(b) Estimate the rate (Btu/h) at which heat must be transferred from the propane to the water in the heat exchanger and the required flow rate (lbm/h) of the water. (You will need to write two separate energy balances.) Assume the heat capacity of liquid water is constant at 1.00 Btu/(lb m°F) and neglect heat losses to the outside and the effects of…
Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger What are thermal and hydrodynamic entrance length? Are either (or both) of them an issue for the experiment? Why or why not?
In a countercurrent double-pipe heat exchanger, the hot oil entering the inner tube at 420 K with a flow rate of 60 g/s is required to be cooled to 320 K. In the space between the outer tube and the inner tube of the heat exchanger, cooling water flows at the same linear speed as the oil. Cooling water enters the heat exchanger at 290 K. The inner tube inner diameter of the heat exchanger is 25 mm and the outer tube inner diameter is 40 mm. Calculate the length of the heat exchanger. The oil side heat transfer coefficient is 1.6 kW/m2 K, and the water side heat transfer coefficient is 3.6 kW/m2 K. The densities of oil and water can be taken as 0.8 and 1.0 g/cm3, respectively, and the specific heats of oil and water can be taken as 2.0 and 4.2 kJ/kg K, respectively. Wall effects can be neglected. Flow cross-sectional area = (PI)*D2 /4 F2
