Heat Exc

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger (one shell pass, multiple tube passes) is to be used to
cool engine oil of 100 kg/s entering the shell side at 370 K and leaving at 338 K. The
corresponding convection coefficient on the tube surface and the LMTD correction
factor of the heat exchanger are known to be h,=10867 W/m?K and F=0.99,
respectively. The condenser will be supplied with cooling water that enters the tubes at
280 K and is to exit the tubes at 320K. Thin walled tubes of 30 mm diameter are
specified and the mean velocity of water flow through the tubes is to be maintained at
1.42 m/s.
Find:
1. i) How many tubes must be used?
2. ii) If the length of the heat exchanger is not to exceed 1.5 m, how many tube passes
should be made?
(for water =1000 kg/m³, c,=4000 J/kgK, µ=959x106 Ns/m², k=0.606 W/mK, Pr=6.62
and for engine oil c,=2000 J/kgK)
