Task 2 The transfer of heat from one fluid to another is an essential component of all chemical processes. Whether it is to cool down a chemical after it has been formed during an exothermic reaction, or to heat components before starting a reaction to make a final product, the thermal processing operation is core to the chemical process. It is essential that heat transfer systems for chemical processes are designed to maximize efficiency. Because the heat transfer step in many chemical processes is energy intensive, a failure to focus on efficiency can drive up costs unnecessarily. Task expected from student: a) Compare the basic design between the classifications of heat exchanger equipment's (Any three HE equipment's). b) Summarize the merits, demerits, limitations and applications of heat exchanger equipment's

1.3 A furnace wall is to be constructed of brick having standard dimensions of Two kinds of material are available. One has a maximum usable temperature of 1040°C and a thermal conductivity of 1.7 W/(m K), and the other has a maximum temperature limit of 870°C and a thermal conductivity of 0.85 W/(m K). The bricks have the same cost and are laid in any manner, but we wish to design the most economical wall for a furnace with a temperature of 1040°C on the hot side and 200°C on the cold side. If the maximum amount of heat transfer permissible is 950 , determine the most economical arrangement using the available bricks.

In a nice Christmas evening, where the temperature is low compared to a summer night, an engineering student, studying Heat Transfer subject, and his brother decided to camp outside their house. The student gave advice to his brother, "Be cautious in setting up your bed, considering your body as a thermodynamic system, plenty of blankets to cover the top of your body, would not be sufficient enough creating an insulation for yourself. The bottom side contributes also to heat rejection in your body, therefore provide also layers of insulation on the bottom side.". Justify the claim of the engineering student by applying the concepts that you have learned so far in this subject. Answer it in essay.
Latent heat of fusion is the heat given up as a substance freezes. The latentheat of fusion for water is 144 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb). Thismeans that 144 Btu are given up for each pound of water that freezes. Howmany British thermal units of heat are given up when 4,000 pounds of waterfreeze?
