Problem #3:
Given: The heat exchanger shown in the figure is to heat oil flowing through tubes using steam on the outside of the tubes. The mass flow rate of the oil is 0.73kgs. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the oil should be 20 and 90C, respectively. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the steam are 135 and 115C, respectively.
Assume: Specific heat of the oil and steam are 1.91kJkgC and 1.85kJkgC, respectively. Overall heat transfer coefficient is U=280Wm2@C.
Find: The required heat exchanger surface area, A in units of m2, using the Log Mean Temperature Difference Method with Correction Factor.
Problem #4:
Repeat problem #3 using the Effectiveness-NTU method to find the required area, A in units of [m^2].
Problem # 3 : Given: The heat exchanger shown in
