Question
It is proposed to cool oil in a counter-current, concentric tube heat
exchanger composed of a thin-walled inner tube of 0.02 m diameter
carrying oil and thin-walled, perfectly insulated outer tube of 0.05 m
diameter carrying water. The oil flow rate is 50.0 kg min-1 and it has to be
cooled from 90°C to 40°C using 60 kg min-1 water at 20°C.
Determine the length required for the heat exchanger. Comment on
the practicality of this length.

- Please only first attempt (or you will be downnvoted)arrow_forwardA highly engineered Ecto-Containment System Protection Grid produces about 8 kW of waste heat in thesystem. A less highly-engineered tubular cross-flow heatsink is designed to dissipate that heat. In this case, the heat sink is a single long pipe carrying anti-freeze through the unit. The pipe has an OD of 80mm and and ID of 16mm. Assume that there is no resistance between the anti-freeze and the OD of the pipe (infinite conduction). Convection is forced, with an airflow of 12 m/s air across it Pr,air = 0.72, density(p) = 1.2 kg/m3, u = 16.83x10−6 Pa − S, k = 0.025 W/mk). The outside air is at 25℃ while the antifreeze is at 180℃. a) Find the Reynold’s Number of flow over the Pipe b) Find the convection coefficient across the pipe c) How long must the pipe be to dissipate all 8kW?arrow_forwardPlease show all steps, not Ai generated, has been wrong before.

- Hello Sir,Good Afternoon. I have a question in my homework related Heat Transfer lesson. The following below is my question. Please Advice. Thank Youarrow_forwardThe condenser of a large thermal power plant is a body-tube type heat exchanger consisting of a single body and 30000 pipes with two passes each. The pipes are thin-walled with an inner diameter of 25 mm, and steam condenses on the outer surfaces of the pipes with a convection coefficient of 11000 W / m2.K. The heat transfer required by the heat exchanger is 2000 MW, and it is provided by the flow of water through the pipes at a flow rate of 30000 kg / h. Water enters at 20 ° C, steam condenses at 50 ° C. Calculate the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser? Determine the required pipe length per pass? The properties of water at Tort = 300 K; Cp = 4180 j / kgK, μ = 855 × 10--6 Ns / m2, k = 0.613 W / mK, Pr = 5.83.arrow_forwardSaturated steam at 1 atm is condensed on the external surface of a copper tube withan outside diameter 16 mm and tube wall of thickness 0.5 mm. The tube is cooledinternally by water with a mass flow rate of 0.06 kg/s, which in turn is raised intemperature from 15 oC to 60 oC as it flows through the tube.Take the heat-transfer coefficient at the condensing side as 10.0 kW/m2K and theisobaric specific heat-capacity of water as 4180 J/kg K.i) Calculate the heat transfer rate to the cooling water. ii)arrow_forward
