Example 6.6.1: Euler's Method As a process engineer in a chemical processing company, you were assigned to scale up a process for your company's latest and greatest chemical. Between one of the steps of the reaction, it is necessary to quickly and efficiently cool down the solution from 330 K before allowing it to enter the next step. From your previous knowledge, you know that a heat exchanger is necessary and the counter current heat exchanger is the most efficient to achieve a desired temperature. You decide to use cold water entering in at 250 K as your coolant since it is relatively inexpensive. In order to allow for the plant engineers in the future to have more control, create a model to determine when this process will go to steady state and graph the temperature profiles of the outlet streams. You can assume the heat exchanger is perfectly insulated and that there is perfect conduction through the metal from shell-side fluid to the tube-side fluid, and this conduction is described by the heat transfer coefficient, k, between the two fluids. General Relevant Information: Tair=296.15 K (Temp. of the Air) ri=0.1 m (Inner Diameter of Inner Tube)
