Question: ( 2 8 pts ) . For the parallel flow heat exchanger ( for a temperature control mechanism ) , with square ducting as shown,

(28pts). For the parallel flow heat exchanger (for a temperature control mechanism), with square ducting as shown, determine the following:
a)(4pts) Plot a qualitative graph of Temperature (both fluids) vs. x.
b)(6 pts ) The equivalent diameter used for calculating the Nusselt number for the outer fluid.
c)(6pts) The oil and water convection coefficients, or if Applicable. (Assume constant heatflux if flow is laminar)
d)(4pts) The heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger
e)(4pts) The required length, L, of the heat exchanger
f)(4pts) What is the effectiveness of this heat exchanger?
Extra Credit (2pts) What is the condensation rate of the water?
Accime h= n 2 m
Cold Fluid
Oil
=900kgm3
c=2000JkgC
v=1.010-4m2sec
k=0.14WmC
Pr=1400
=80C
Hot Fluid
Water (condensing)
(may not all condense)
hfg=2310kJkg
(so find Tsat)
m=0.16kgsec
