Consider a 2-shell-passes and 8-tube-passes shell-and-tube heat exchanger. What is the primary reason for using many tube passes

Engineering

Maru [420]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.

- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.

- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.

- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.

- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:

                                U ∝ v^( 0.8 )    .... ( turbulence )

- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.

Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).

A composite shaft with length L = 46 in is made by fitting an aluminum sleeve (Ga = 5 x 10^3 ksi) over a
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

L = 46 in

Ga = 5 × 10³ ksi

Gs = 11 × 10³ ksi

Outside diameter da = 5 in

ds = 4 in

Tb = 3 kip.in

Now,

Ja = polar moment of Inertia of Aluminum;

Ja ⇒ π/32( 5⁴ - 4⁴ ) = π/32( 625 - 256 ) = π/32( 369 ) in^u

Js = polar moment of inertia of steel

Js ⇒ π/32 ds⁴ = π/32( 4⁴ ) = π/32( 256 )

Ta is torque transmitted by Aluminum  

Ts is torque transmitted by steel  

{composite member }

T = Ta + Ts ------ let this be equation m1

Now, we use the relation;

T/J = G∅/L

JG∅ = TL

∅ = TL/GJ

so, for aluminum rod ∅_{alu = TaLa/GaJa

for steel rod ∅_{steel = TsLs/GsJs

but we know that, ∅a = ∅s = ∅_B

so

[TaLa/GaJa]  =  [TsLs/GsJs]

also, we know that, La = Ls = L

∴ [Ta/GaJa]  =  [Ts/GsJs]

we solve for Ta

TaGsJs = TsGaJa  

Ta = TsGaJa / GsJs

we substitute

Ta = [Ts(5 × 10³)( π/32( 369) )] / [ (11 × 10³)( π/32( 256 ) ) ]

Ta = 0.66Ts

now, we substitute 0.66Ts for Ta and 3 for T in equation 1

T = Ta + Ts

3 = 0.66Ts + Ts

3 = 1.66Ts

Ts = 3 / 1.66

Ts = 1.8072 ≈ 1.81 kip-in

so

∅_{steel = TsLs / GsJs

we substitute

∅_{steel = (1.81 × 46 ) / ( 11 × 10³ × π/32( 256 ) )

∅_{steel = 83.26 / 276460.1535

∅_{steel  = 0.000301

∅_{steel = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

so

∅_{steel = ∅_B = 3.01 × 10⁻⁴ rad

Therefore, the magnitude of the angle of twist at end B is 3.01 × 10⁻⁴  rad

A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

COP of heat pump=3.013

COP of cycle=1.124

Explanation

W = Q2 - Q1 ----- equation 1

W = work done

Q2 = final energy

Q1 = initial energy

A) calculate the COP of the heat pump

COP =Q2/W

from equation 1

Q2 = Q1 + W = 15 + 7.45 = 22.45 KW

therefore COP =22.45/7.45  = 3.013

B) COP when cycle is reversed

COP = Q1/W

from equation 1

Q1 + W = Q2 ------ equation 2

Q2 = 15 Btu/s = 15 * 1.055 = 15.825 KW therefore from equation 2

Q1 = 8.375 KW

COP =8.375/7.45   = 1.124

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The mass of fuel added, which is 10,166.2 kg is less than 22,300 kg which is the mass of fuel required to travel from Toronto to Edmonton, the plane therefore crashed.

Explanation:

Since density ρ = m/v where m = mass of fuel and v = volume of fuel, we need to find the mass of each volume of fuel.

So, m = ρv now ρ = specific gravity × density of water = 0.803 × 1000 kg/m³ = 803 kg/m³.

To find the mass of the 7,682 L of fuel, its volume is 7,682 dm³ = 7,682 dm³ × 1 m³/1000 dm³ = 7.682 m³.

It's mass, m = 803 kg/m³ × 7.682 m³ = 6168.646 kg

To find the mass of the extra 4,916 L of fuel added, we have

m' = ρv' where v' = 4,916 L = 4,916 dm³ = 4916 dm³ × 1 m³/1000 dm³ = 4.916 m³

m' =  803 kg/m³ × 4.916 m³ = 3947.548 kg

So, the total mass of the fuel is m" = m + m' = 6168.646 kg + 3947.548 kg = 10116.194 kg ≅ 10,166.2 kg

<u>Since this mass of fuel added, which is 10,166.2 kg is less than 22,300 kg which is the mass of fuel required to travel from Toronto to Edmonton, the plane therefore crashed.</u>
