Heat Transfer Processes and Equipment


Design of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

The Log Mean Temperature Difference Method

1. Steam in the condenser of a steam power plant is to be condensed at a temperature of


50°C (hfg = 2305 kJ/kg) with cooling water (Cp = 4180 J/kg.°C) from a nearby lake,
which enters the tubes of the condenser at 18°C and leaves at 27°C. The surface area of
the tubes is 58 m2, and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 2400 W/m2·°C. Determine
the mass flow rate of the cooling water needed and the rate of condensation of the steam
in the condenser.
[101 kg/s, 1.65 kg/s]

2. A double-pipe parallel-flow heat exchanger is to heat water (Cp = 4180 J/kg · °C) from
25°C to 60°C at a rate of 0.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal
water (Cp = 4310 J/kg · °C) available at 140°C at a mass flow rate of 0.3 kg/s. The inner
tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 0.8 cm. If the overall heat transfer coefficient
of the heat exchanger is 550 W/m2·°C, determine the length of the heat exchanger
required to achieve the desired heating.
[25.5 m]

3. A 1-shell-pass and 8-tube-passes heat exchanger is used to heat glycerin (Cp = 2.5
kJ/kg.°C) from 27°C to 60°C by hot water (Cp = 4.18 kJ/kg.°C) that enters the thin
walled 1.3 cm diameter tubes at 80°C and leaves at 50°C. The total length of the tubes
in the heat exchanger is 120 m. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 23 W/m.°C
on the glycerin (shell) side and 280 W/m.°C on the water (tube) side. Determine the
rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger (a) before any fouling occurs and (b) after
fouling with a fouling factor of 0.00035 m.°C/W occurs on the outer surfaces of the
tubes.

4. A thin-walled double-pipe counter-flow heat exchanger is to be used to cool oil (Cp =


2200 J/kg·°C) from 150°C to 50°C at a rate of 2.5 kg/s by water (Cp = 4180 J/kg·°C)
that enters at 22°C at a rate of 1.5 kg/s. The diameter of the tube is 2.5 cm, and its length
is 6 m. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger.
[34.6 kW/m2.°C]
Effectiveness–NTU Method
5. Hot oil (Cp = 2200 J/kg·°C) is to be cooled by water (Cp = 4180 J/kg·°C) in a 2-shell-
pass and 12-tube-pass heat exchanger. The tubes are thin-walled and are made of copper
with a diameter of 1.8 cm. The length of each tube pass in the heat exchanger is 3 m,
and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 340 W/m2·°C. Water flows through the tubes
at a total rate of 0.1 kg/s, and the oil through the shell at a rate of 0.2 kg/s. The water
and the oil enter at temperatures 18°C and 160°C, respectively. Determine the rate of
heat transfer in the heat exchanger and the outlet temperatures of the water and the oil.

[36.2 kW, 104.6°C, 77.7°C]

6. A cross-flow air-to-water heat exchanger with an effectiveness of 0.65 is used to heat


water (Cp = 4180 J/kg·°C) with hot air (Cp = 1010 J/kg·°C). Water enters the heat
exchanger at 20°C at a rate of 4 kg/s, while air enters at 100°C at a rate of 9 kg/s. If the
overall heat transfer coefficient based on the water side is 260 W/m2·°C, determine the
heat transfer surface area of the heat exchanger on the water side. Assume both fluids
are unmixed.

7. Glycerin (Cp = 2400 J/kg·°C) at 20°C and 0.5 kg/s is to be heated by ethylene glycol
(Cp = 2500 J/kg·°C) at 60°C and the same mass flow rate in a thin-walled double pipe
parallel-flow heat exchanger. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 380 W/m2·°C and
the heat transfer surface area is 6.5 m2, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer and (b)
the outlet temperatures of the glycerin and the glycol.
[24 kW, 39.2°C, 40°C]

8. Steam is to be condensed on the shell side of a 1-shell-pass and 8-tube-passes


condenser, with 50 tubes in each pass, at 30°C (hfg = 2431 kJ/kg). Cooling water (Cp =
4180 J/kg·°C) enters the tubes at 18°C at a rate of 1800 kg/h. The tubes are thin-walled,
and have a diameter of 1.5 cm and length of 2 m per pass. If the overall heat transfer
coefficient is 3000 W/m2·°C, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer and (b) the rate of
condensation of steam.
