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 ).

Describe the algorithm you use for looking up a person’s telephone number in the phone book. The input is person’s name; the out
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The Algorithm for finding a number from a phone book with the person's name as the input and the phone number as output is as follows:

1. Try to remember the name, i.e last name first and first name last, Also make sure you get the spelling right.

2. Using the first letter of the last name, locate the appropriate alphabetical section in which the name should appear.

3. Using the second letter of the last name, find the subsection of first and second letters combined, in the appropriate order, in which the name should appear. (If the last name consists of only two letters, find the appropriate first name.)

4. Using the third letter, find the possible names in a subsection of the first three letters in the correct order. Continue this step with x+1 letters of the name until you have a subsection of names exactly matching the last name of the person whose number you are trying to locate. (x is the number of letters used in the previous step, consistently.) If there is only one of the last name, (check for duplicates) identify the number, and return phone number information.

5. Begin the second step using the first letter of the first name, but limit the section to only those exactly matching the last name. Continue to step 4, again focusing on the first name only within the set of exactly matching last names.

6. When both first and last name match the name you are locating, check for duplicates. IF there are no duplicates, return phone number information.

Explanation:

People's names are generally arranged in phone books in alphabetical order by the last name of the person. The first name of the person is listed after the last name so that people of the same last name can be differentiated.
