HEAT TRANSFER PROJECT WORK
Water is desired to be heated from 10C to 50C using a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. For this, hot water of mass flow rate mi=dotskgs, flows through the pipes of the heat exchanger as temperature decreases to t1=dotsC from t2=dotsC. In the shell-side, the cold fluid needed to be heated, flows. The pipes are made of steel with a thermal conductivity of k=dotsWm2K. Tube diameters are dido=21mm/25 mm and length of each pipe is L=dotsm. The heat exchanger is insulated against its environment. You are requested to design a counter-flow one-shell and one-tube pass heat exchanger. Hence, keep track of the path as follows:
a) Find heat transfer rate between hot and cold fluids.
b) Determine mass flow rate of the cold fluid.
c) Find logarithmic mean temperature difference.
d) By predicting the overall heat transfer coefficient between two fluids (Upred), find out number of tubes and diameter of the shell. According to this geometry, find out hi for fluid flow through tubes and ho for flow from the shell-side. Using those convection heat transfer coefficients, calculate overall heat transfer coefficient (Ucalc). Repeat calculations until Ucalc approximates Upred. The number of tubes andshell diameter have been acquired when this approximation is met.
e) According to those results, technically draw this heat exchanger.
f) Calculate pumping power requirements separately for both fluids.
Notes: (1) In your calculations, select necessary equations and correlations, substitute values and reach results.
