Water 20 C enters a heat exchanger and leaves at 80 V.The heat exchanger consists of 12 0.4 passes and 11 180 C return bends(thread).The diameter of the pipe is 3 cm and the pipe can be considered as smooth.The average velocity in the pipe is 1.5 m/s.The elevation difference between the inlet and the exit of the heat exchanger is 1m.The pressure before the pump inlet at and heat exchanger exit at is equal to each other.Calculate the required pump power.For the some flow rate and geometry, how would you reduce the pump power?180 C return.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
