Once upon a time, a student from a certain university wants to learn crystallization
using a Swenson-Walker crystallizer. The capacity of this crystallizer is 0.6124 Ib/s
of FeSO4 slurry leaves at 300 K. The flow mechanism of the cooling is counter current
through the jacket and its temperature increases from 61 to 70 F. The overall heat
transfer coefficient has been estimated to be 190 Sl units.
(). Determine the requirement for cooling water in kg/hr
(i) Let supposed that each crystallizer unit is 3.5 yard long and each metre of
crystallizer provides26.91 ft? surface, how many crystallizer units will be required?

- Question : Studies show that the major energy consumption in Fijian villages is wood which is used for cooking over open fires. Typical consumption of wood is 1 kg person–1day–1. (a) Estimate the heat energy required to boil a 2-liter pot full of water. Assuming this to be the cooking requirement of each person, compare this with the heat content of the wood, and thus estimate the thermal efficiency of the open fire. (b) How much timber has to be felled each year to cook for a village of 200 people?Assuming systematic replanting, what area of crop must the village therefore set aside for fuel use if it is not to make a net deforestation? Hint: refer to Table 10.4. (c) Comment on the realism of the assumptions made, and revise your estimates accordingly. Answer: (a) mcDT ≈ 0.6 MJ (heat losses from pot imply actual requirement is higher). h ≈ 3%. (b) 70 tonnes; 7 ha.arrow_forwardPROBLEM: IIC-21 BOOK: ENGINEERING THERMOFLUIDS, M.

The volume of the storage container will be 1 m³. You are debating on three shapes: (a) a rectangular shaped box with 20-cm thickness, 1-m 56.42 cm diameter, and width, and 5-m length; (b) a cylindrical storage with 4-m length and (a) a sphere. AS part of your design decision, find out the convective heat transfer rate from each of these containers. Assume the surface temperature to be uniform at –-10°C, and the ambient air is flowing at 20°C. The velocity of the air is 0.8 m/s. The direction of flow is over the 1-mx5-m sides of the box along the length (5-m) and across the cylinder and the sphere.
