Question
(b) In a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, with one shell pass and four tube
passes, water entering at 25°C and volume flowrate
is being used to cool oil from 120°C. The mass flow rate of oil has
recently been increased to 150 000 kg h-1. There is a total of 780
tubes of 5.0m length and 23.0mm outside diameter and 2 mm
thickness. From the previous operation, the overall heat transfer
coefficient of the exchanger is known to be 720 W m-2K-1. Specific heat
capacity of oil is 2100 J kg-1K-1.
175. 514 m3 h-1
(i) Use the &NTU method to find the exit temperature of the oil at the
new flow rate. (ii) show, by calculation, how would the outlet oil
temperature change if the oil mass flowrate would again increase by
28%, based on the value stated in the question (b).
