1. Calculate the rate of heat transfer through a bimetallic tube consisting of an outer
tube of low-carbon steel and an inner tube (“liner”) of 347 stainless steel. The outer
tube has an outside diameter of 31.8 mm (1.25 in.) and an inside diameter of 19.0 mm
(0.75 in.). The liner has an outside diameter of 18.9 mm (0.75 in.) and a wall
thickness of 20 BWG (= 0.889 mm = 0.035 in.), giving a nominal inside diameter of
17.3 mm (0.680 in.). The inside wall temperature of the liner is 260°C (500°F) and the
outside wall temperature of the outer tube is 100°C (212°F). Assume the liner and the
outer tube are in perfect thermal contact.

1.1. The rate of heat transfer on the inside tube is

1.2. The rate of heat transfer on the outside tube is

Given:

T i=260 ℃(500 ° F )

T o=100 ℃(212° F )

D ¿ =19.0 mm(0.75∈.)

D i=17.3 mm( 0.680∈.)

D o =31.8 mm(1.25∈.)

5. A triple effect evaporator is supplied with 10,000 lbs/hr of saturated steam at

240degF to the 1st effect. The temperature at the last effect is 150°F. Assume U 1=150,
U2=200 and U3=250 BTU/(hr-ft2-°F) and the boiling point rises are 10, 18 and 27°F
respectively.

5.1. Estimate the area needed for the first effect in ft2.

5.2. Estimate the boiling point of the solution in effect number two in °F.

Given:

S=10,000lbs/hr

T sat
1 =240 ° F

T sat
3 =150 ° F

U 1=150 BTU /(hr −ft 2−° F)

U 2=200 BTU /(hr −ft 2−° F)

U 2=250 BTU /(hr −ft 2−° F)

Overall BPR =10° F+18 ° F+27 ° F=55 ° F

Required:

The area needed for the first effect in ft2, A=?
