Question: Part 2 : Now for the heat exchanger: ( 3 5 marks ) The condenser of this refrigeration cycle has a heat output requirement achieved
Part : Now for the heat exchanger: marks
The condenser of this refrigeration cycle has a heat output requirement achieved using a heat exchanger. Consider a simple watercooled, thinwalled, counterflow heat exchanger. The refrigerant gas flows through the inner annulus, and water on the outer annulus. Determine suitable annulus diameters for the counterflow heat exchanger, where the flow is designed to be laminar for water, and laminar for the refrigerant. Hydraulic diameter maybe required.
In terms of a modified crosssection, such as the outer region of an annulus, the hydraulic diameter is used for Reynolds numbers, pressure drop, and the actual crosssectional expression is used for the mass flow rate. ie hydraulic diameter is not used for the mass flow rate.
Design basis:
Assume a condenser heat output of kW which may or may not be the correct previous answer.
