Tongo, Jhon Nicko - Problem Set No. 2

This document contains 4 heat exchanger design problems: 1) A shell-and-tube heat exchanger transfers heat from oil to water, heating the water from 45°C to 85°C. 2) A counterflow heat exchanger cools hot oil with water, given the flow rates, inlet/outlet temperatures, and heat transfer area and coefficient. 3) A condenser is designed to condense steam into water below 57°C, given the steam and water flow rates and heat transfer coefficient. 4) A shell-and-tube heat exchanger cools ethylene glycol with water, and calculates the tube length needed.

Problem Set No. 2
1. Water (cp = 4.184 kJ/kg·K) is flowing at the rate of 1.13 kg/s in a 1-2 shell-and-tube heat exchanger and is
heated from 45°C to 85°C by an oil having a heat capacity of 1.95 kJ/kg·K. The oil enters at 120°C and leaves
at 85°C. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is 300 W/m2·K.

2. Hot oil at a flow rate of 3.00 kg/s (cp = 1.92 kJ/kg·K) enters an existing counterflow exchanger at 400 K and
is cooled by water entering at 325 K and flowing at a rate of 0.70 kg/s. The overall U = 350 W/m2·K and A
= 12.9 m2. Calculate the heat transfer rate and the exit oil temperature.
3. A small steam condenser is designed to condense 0.76 kg/min of steam at 83 kPa with cooling water at 10°C.
The exit water temperature is not to exceed 57°C. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is 3400 W/m2·°C.
Calculate the area required for a double-pipe heat exchanger. Tsat = 95.6°C (83 kPa), hv = 2.27×106 J/kg
(enthalpy of vaporization).

4. Ethylene glycol flowing at a rate of 4.00 kg/s (cp = 2.650 kJ/kg·°C) is cooled from 100°C to 60°C in 1-1
shell-and-tube heat exchanger. On the shell side, water flowing at 2.50 kg/s is used as the cooling fluid
entering the heat exchanger at 27°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 1500 W/m2·°C and the pipe
diameter is 2.09-cm. Compute for the tube length of this 1-1 shell-and-tube heat exchanger if 40 tubes are
used. If the same heat transfer is intended for a 1-2 shell-and-tube heat exchanger, what will be its length?
