Water flowing at a rate of 10 kg/s through 50 double-pass tubes in a shell and tube heat exchanger heats air that flows through the shell side. The length of the brass tubes is 6.7 m and they have an outside diameter of 2.6 cm and an inside diameter of 2.3 cm. The heat transfer coefficient of the
An air-cooled low-pressure-steam condenser is shown below. The tube bank is four rows deep in the direction of air flow. There are 80 tubes total. The tubes have ID = 2.2 cm and OD 2.5 cm and are 9 m long. The tubes have circular fins on the outside. The tube-plus-fin area is 16 times the bare
Design (i.e., determine the overall area and a suitable arrangement of shell and tube passes) for a tubular-feed water heater capable of heating 2,300 kg/h of water from 21 to 90°C. The following specification are given (a) Saturated steam at 920 kPa absolute pressure is condensing on the
Two engineers are having an argument about the efficiency of a tube-side multipass heat exchanger compared to a similar exchanger with a single tube-side pass. Mr. Smith claims that for a given number of tubes are rate of heat transfer, more area is required in a two-pass exchanger than in a
