Aconcentric tube heat exchanger is used to cool lubricating
oil for alarge diesel engine. Cooling water flows through
the inner stainless steel (k =16 W/m.K) tube which has a
diameter of 30 mm, at a rate of 0.3 kg/s. The flow rate of oil
in the annulus (outer tube radius is 50 mm) is 0.15 kg/s.
Assume fully developed flow. If the oil is to be cooled from
90 C to 50 C and the inlet water temperature is 10 °C,
calculate:
a) The tube length for parallel flow.
b) The tube length for counter flow.
c) The heat transfer area for a single pass cross
flow
heat exchanger with both streams unmnixed
under the conditions specified. operating

A shell and tube heat exchanger is used to heat 1O 000 kg/h
of pressurised water from 35 0C to 120 C. The heating
medium is also pressurised water which enters the heat
exchanger at 300 C and at a rate of 5000 kg/h. The heat
exchanger has two shell passes and four tube passes. Given
that the overall heat transfer coefficient is 1500 W/m2.K,
calculate the required heat exchange area using the LMTD
method and the [ -NTUmethod.

A single pass cross flow heat exchanger uses hot exhaust
gases to heat water (mass flow rate of 3kg/s) from 30 to 80
C. You may assume that the exhaust gases have
thermophysical properties that are similar to air. They enter
the heat exchanger at 225 °C and leave at 100 °C. If the
overall heat transfer coefficient is 212 W/m².K, what is the
required surface area? Note that the gas stream is mixed and
the water is not.

Ashell and tube heat exchanger is used to cool and
condense 1.5 kg/s of saturated steam, which is at a
pressure of 0.51 bar. The vapour is completely condensed
to saturated liquid using water, which enters the thin
walled tubes at 17 0C and leaves at 57 0C. The overall heat
transfer co-efficient is known to be 2000 W/m².K.
a) Calculate the effectiveness.
b)Calculate the required heat transfer area.
c) Calculate the water flow rate.

Water, flowing at a rate of 0.05 kg/s, enters a radiator at 400 K
and needs to be cooled to 330 K. Air in cross flow is used to
cool the water. The exit temperature of the air is 300 Kand it
flows through at 0.75 kg/s. Given that the overall heat transfer
coefficient is 200 W/m?.K, what heat transfer area is required to
cool the water to the desired temperature.
Heat capacity of the water =4209 J/kg.K
Heat capacity of the air =1006 J/kg.K
