Question: A double pipe parallel flow heat exchanger is used to heat a cold fluid ( diesel ) at m = 0 . 5 k g
A double pipe parallel flow heat exchanger is used to heat a cold fluid diesel at see Figure The cold fluid inlet temperature is The hot fluid is water that enters at and leaves at at a rate of
Assume the following: Heat Exchanger Outer Wall is Insulated. Inner pipe has neglible wall thickness and high thermal conductivity. No Fouling Factors. Use fluid properties as shown in Figure
apts What is the heat transfer rate for this heat exchanger?
bpts What is the best temperature difference to use between these fluids?
cpts What Re# number should be utilized for each of these fluids?
dpts What is the average convection coefficient and the overall heat transfer coefficient for each of these fluids?
eptsWhat is the length of heat exchanger that needs to be used for this design and is it reasonable for this application?
Extra Credit pt: How does the convection coefficient vary with the outside pipe diameter?, a plot is fine.
