Question: ( 3 0 points ) Water at m = 0 . 0 5 k g s and T m , i = 3 0 C
points Water at and enters an annular tube heat exchanger as shown in Figure The annular tube heat exchanger is composed of an outer tube with radius and an inner tube with an outer radius and an inner radius of The surface of the outer tube is well insulated. Saturated steam flows through the inner tube, maintaining a uniform temperature of at the surface of the steam side. The thermal conductivity of the inner tube wall is Water has viscosity heat capacitance thermal conductivity and Prandtl number The fully developed conditions may be assumed throughout the annulus.
a points Please obtain the value of heat convection coefficient of heat transfer at the outer tube wall. points How long must the annular tube heat exchanger be to provide an outlet water temperature What is the overall heat flow rate that the water side receives?
b points After years of operation, the heat exchanger performance is degraded by fouling on the outer wall of the water side, and the water outlet temperature becomes for the same fluid flow rates and inlet temperatures.
What is the fouling factor on the outer wall of the water side?
