Question: Write a Matlab program to solve for Part (a) of Example 4.9-1. The program should ask the user to provide relevant variables (temperatures, flow rates,
EXAMPLE 4.9-1. Temperature Correction Factor for a Heat Exchanger A 1-2 heat exchanger containing one shell pass and two tube passes heats 2.52 kg/s of water from 21.1 to 54.4C by using hot water under pressure entering at 115.6 and leaving at 48.9C. The outside surface area of the tubes in the exchanger is A, -9.30 m2 (a) Calculate themean temperature difference ?T, in the exchanger and the overall heat-transfer coefficient U, (b) For the same temperatures but using a 2-4 exchanger, what would be the ??? Solution: The temperatures are as follows. 7,.-115.6C Tho-48.9C Tei 21.1C T. 54.4C First making a heat balance on the cold water assuming a cpm of water of 4187 J/kg K and T Ta (54.4 21.1)C 33.3C 33.3 K, q = mcpm(Tco-T,.) = (2.52X41 87X54.4-21.1) = 348 200 w 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.7 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 z- 4.0 2.0 1.0 0.60.2 4.0 2.0 1.0 0.6 10.2 3.0 1.5 0.8 0.4 3.0 1.5 0.810.4 0.5 00.2 04 0.60.8 1.0 Tco- Tei Thi Tei 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 co Ici Thi Tci FIGURE 4.9-5.
