Concept explainers
A shell-and-tube heat exchanger consisting of oneshell pass and two tube passes is used to transfer heat from an ethylene glycol—water solution (shell side)supplied from a rooftop solar collector to pure water(tube side) used (or household purposes. The tubes areof inner and outer diameters
(a) For pure copper tubes, calculate the heat transferrate from the ethylene glycol—water solution
(b) It ¡s proposed to replace the copper tube bundlewith a bundle composed of high-temperature
nylon tubes of the same diameter and tube wall thickness. The nylon is characterized by a thermalconductivity of

- 10.1 In a heat exchanger, as shown in the accompanying figure, air flows over brass tubes of 1.8-cm 1D and 2.1-cm OD containing steam. The convection heat transfer coefficients on the air and steam sides of the tubes are , respectively. Calculate the overall heal transfer coefficient for the heal exchanger (a) based on the inner tube area and (b) based on the outer tube area.arrow_forwardWater flowing in a long, aluminum lube is to be heated by air flowing perpendicular to the exterior of the tube. The ID of the tube is 1.85 cm, and its OD is 2.3 cm. The mass flow rate of the water through the tube is 0.65kg/s, and the temperature of the water in the lube averages 30C. The free-stream velocity and ambient temperature of the air are 10m/sand120C, respectively. Estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger using appropriate correlations from previous chapters. State all your assumptions.arrow_forwardMot water is used to heat air in a double-pipe heat exchanger as shown in the following sketch. If the heat transfer coefficients on the water side and on the air side are 550W/m2Kand55W/m2K respectively, calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outer diameter. The heat exchanger pipe is 5-cm, schedule 40 steel (k=54W/mK) with water inside.arrow_forward
