please do not use chat gpt or ai. write neatly and show your working, thank you. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient and determine the percentage over-design or under-design.
Calculate the pressure drop on both the tube side and shell side of the heat exchanger and specify whether these are within the limits.
A process stream, with an inlet temperature of 110C is to be cooled to 48C. The process stream has a flowrate of 33000kgh. Cooling water is available at 25C for cooling purposes. The cooling water outlet temperature should not exceed 36C.
The physical properties of the process and cooling water stream are as follows:
\table[[,Process stroam,Cooling water],[Density (kg*m^(-3)),732,992],[Heat capacity (J*kg^(-1)*K^(-1)),3320,4190],[Viscosity (N*s*m^(-2)),3.7\times 10^(-4),8.0\times 10^(-4)],[Thermal conductivity (W*m^(-1)*K^(-1)),0.136,0.613],[Fouling coefficient (W*m^(-2)*K^(-1)),6000,3000],[Allowable prossure drop (kPa),60,60]]
Tubes (k=45(W)-m-1*K-1) with an outside diameter (OD)=19.05mm, wall thickness of 2mm and length =4.88m, are available. A triangular pitch 1.25OD has been selected.
