Question: A 1 - 2 shell - and - tube heat exchanger is used to cool condensed steam at a rate of 1 0 5 kg
A shellandtube heat exchanger is used to cool condensed steam at a rate of kgh from cdeg to cdeg using cooling water available at cdeg The operating conditions do not permit exit temperatures of cooling water exceeding circC Select a counter flow heat exchanger with inch OD tube, BWG triangular pitch and feet long tube arrangement with a tube thickness of inch. By referring to the data sheet and with suitable assumptions, Evaluate the following:
i Mass flow rate of water;
ii Corrected LMTD
iii Total number of tubes;
iv Tube side Reynolds number;
v Inside heat transfer coefficient;
vi Shell side Reynolds number
vii Shell side heat transfer coefficient;
viii Overall heat transfer coefficient;
ix Inside heat transfer area
x Actual heat transfer area
xi Actual design overall heat transfer coefficient
