A liquid to liquid counterflow heat exchanger is used to heat cold fluid from 50?C to 150?C. Assuming that the hot fluid enters at 250?C and leaves at 200?C, the log mean temperature difference for the heat exchanger will be closer to
Air is to be heated by condensing steam. Two heat exchangers are available (i) a shell and tube heat exchanger and (ii) a finned tube heat exchanger. Tube side heat transfer area are equal in both the cases. The recommended arrangement is
In case of parallel flow heat exchanger, the lowest temperature theoretically attainable by the hot fluid is __________ the outlet temperature of the cold fluid.
Extended heat transfer surface like fins are used to increase the heat transfer rate. Fin efficiency is defined as the ratio of heat transferred across the fin surface to the theoretical heat transfer across an equal area held at the
A dimensionless heat transfer coefficient which gives a measure of the ratio of the heat transfer rate to the rate at which heat would be conducted within the fluid under a temperature gradient is known as
Hot water (0.01 m3 /min) enters the tube side of a counter current shell and tube heat exchanger at 80°C and leaves at 50°C. Cold oil (0.05 m3 /min) of density 800 kg/m3 and specific heat of 2 kJ/kg.K enters at 20°C. The log mean temperature difference in °C is approximately
In a shell and tube heat exchanger, putting a longitudinal baffle across the shell, forces the shell side fluid to pass __________ through the heat exchanger.
Fouling factor for a heat exchanger is given by (where, U1 = heat transfer co-efficient of dirty surface U2 = heat transfer co-efficient of clean surface).
The overall heat transfer co-efficient for a shell and tube heat exchanger for clean surfaces is U0 = 400 W/m2.K. The fouling factor after one year of operation is found to be hd0 = 2000W/m2.K. The overall heat transfer co-efficient at this time is
For shell and tube heat exchanger, with increasing heat transfer area, the purchased cost per unit heat transfer area
