Question: A triple tubes parallel flow shell and tube heat exchanger is used to cool the oil in the pump.The oil leaves the pump with 2
A triple tubes parallel flow shell and tube heat exchanger is used to cool the oil in the pump.The oil leaves the pump with deg c to enter the heat exchanger at the same temperature. In the other side, the cooled water enters the heat exchanger at deg c and increased by deg c at the exit side. The mass flowrate of the oil equals the mass flowrate of the water. The inner radius of the tube side is mm and the thickness is mm while the length on the single tube is cmIf the overall heat transfer coefficient from oil to water is WmKCPoil KJKgdeg C Pwater Jkgk Note,juse the LMTD technique to solve the problem
The heat transfer rate?
Minimum flow rate of water in Lmin
The reduction in the length if we used counter flow heat exchanger with the same tube radius and thickness. And keep the same heat transfer rate between two fluids.
