Subject – Heat Transfer

Assignment No-5

Q.1 A counter flow double pipe heat exchanger using superheated steam is used to heat water at the
rate of 10500 kg/hr. The steam enters the heat exchanger at 180o C and leaves at 130OC. The inlet and
exit temperature of water are 30OC and 80OC respectively. If the overall heat transfer coefficient from
steam to water is 814 W/m2OC, calculate the heat transfer area. What would be the increase in area if
the fluids flows were parallel

Q.2 A counter flow double pipe heat exchanger is used to heat water from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2
kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water available at 160°C at a mass flow rate of 2
kg/s. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. If the overall heat transfer coefficient
of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m²K, determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve
the desired heating

Q.3 In a counter flow double pipe heat exchanger, water is heated from 25∘C to 65∘C by oil with specific
heat of 1.45 kJ/kgK and mass flow rate of 0.9 kg/s. The oil is cooled from 230∘C to 160∘C. If overall Heat
transfer coefficient is 420 W/m2∘C.

Calculate

a) The rate of heat transfer


b) The mass flow rate of water
c) The surface area of heat exchanger
