Please help me to solve this problem:
5: A cross-flow plate heat exchanger is to be designed for waste heat recovery from the
exhaust streams of a metallurgical process. A flow of 5kgs of exhaust gases enters the
exchanger at 240C and must be cooled to 120C by 5kgs of air supplied at 20C. If the
overall heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 40Wm2K, determine the required
heat transfer area if both streams are unmixed using the NTU- method. The specific
heat of the exhaust gases and air can be taken as 1200JkgK and 1010JkgK respectively.
6: Hot exhaust gases are used to preheat water
prior to being injected to a boiler using a
crossflow heat exchanger. The heat exchanger
consists of a staggered arrangement of 1.6 in
outside diameter copper tubes with a wall
thickness of 0.1 in . The tubes are placed in an
array that is 5 rows deep with a longitudinal
spacing of 3.2 in and a transverse spacing of 3.2
in as shown. The hot gases can be assumed to have similar properties as air. The hot gases
enter with a free stream velocity of 800fts at 1000F and leave at 900F. Pressurized
water enters the tubes at 80F with a total mass flow rate of 200,000lbmhr and leaves the
heat exchanger at 220F. Determine:
(a) the average heat transfer coefficient on the external surface of the tubes
(b) the average heat transfer coefficient for the water in the tubes
(c) the overall conductance per unit length
(d) the heat exchanger rating per unit length
(e) the length of the pipes required to produce the proposed temperature rise on the
water.
