- 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_forward1a. Why does a “mixed” or “unmixed” fluid arrangement influence heat-exchanger performance? with examplearrow_forwardSteam condensing at 120°C (h =2203 kJ/kg) on the shell side of (1 shell and 12 thin- walled tubes) heat exchanger. Water (18 °C, C_ =4180 J/kg-°C) enters the tube @ 3.3 kg/s and the temperature difference between fhe two Uuits at the exit is 55°C, assume LMTD correction factor of 1.0, for each tube: length =2.7 m, diamieter = 2.4 cm.

- The shell fluid,ethylene glycol, enters at 120oC and leaves at 60oCwitha flow rate of 4000 kg/h. Water flows in the tubes, entering at 35oCand leaving at85oC. The overall heat-transfer coefficient for this arrangement is 900W/m2·oC.The exchanger is a shell tube with two shell passes and two tube passes.Calculate the following: a) The water exit temperature if flow rate of glycol to the exchanger is reduced in half with the entrance temperatures of both fluids remaining the same and by how much is the heat-transfer rate reduced?; b) The percentage reduction of heat transfer if water-flow rate is reduced by 25percent,while the gas flowrate is maintained constant along with the fluid inlet temperatures. Assume that the overall heat-transfer coefficient remains the same; andc) The flow rate of water required andthe area of the heat exchanger;arrow_forwardA heat exchanger is heating water on the tube side with steam condensing on the shell side. The water is entering at 45 0 F and exiting at 175 0 F. No instruments are available for measuring the tube side water flow but condensed steam from the shell side is being collected at a rate of 43 GPM. If the tube area of the exchanger is 350 Ft2 , and the overall heat transfer coefficient clean was 900 BTU/Hr.Ft2 F0, how much has the overall heat transfer coefficient changed, if at all? Note: Latent heat for water/steam at 212 0 F is 970 BTU per pound of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs.arrow_forward
