A counter-flow double-piped heat exchange is to heat water from 20oC to 80oC at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accompl

ished by geothermal available at 160oC at a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. If the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m2.oC, determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve the desired heating using the effectiveness-NTU method.

Answer:

110 m or 11,000 cm

Explanation:

  • let mass flow rate for cold and hot fluid = M<em>c</em> and M<em>h</em> respectively
  • let specific heat for cold and hot fluid = C<em>pc</em> and C<em>ph </em>respectively
  • let heat capacity rate for cold and hot fluid = C<em>c</em> and C<em>h </em>respectively

M<em>c</em> = 1.2 kg/s and M<em>h = </em>2 kg/s

C<em>pc</em> = 4.18 kj/kg °c and C<em>ph</em> = 4.31 kj/kg °c

<u>Using effectiveness-NUT method</u>

  1. <em>First, we need to determine heat capacity rate for cold and hot fluid, and determine the dimensionless heat capacity rate</em>

C<em>c</em> = M<em>c</em> × C<em>pc</em> = 1.2 kg/s  × 4.18 kj/kg °c = 5.016 kW/°c

C<em>h = </em>M<em>h</em> × C<em>ph </em>= 2 kg/s  × 4.31 kj/kg °c = 8.62 kW/°c

From the result above cold fluid heat capacity rate is smaller

Dimensionless heat capacity rate, C = minimum capacity/maximum capacity

C= C<em>min</em>/C<em>max</em>

C = 5.016/8.62 = 0.582

          .<em>2 Second, we determine the maximum heat transfer rate, Qmax</em>

Q<em>max</em> = C<em>min </em>(Inlet Temp. of hot fluid - Inlet Temp. of cold fluid)

Q<em>max</em> = (5.016 kW/°c)(160 - 20) °c

Q<em>max</em> = (5.016 kW/°c)(140) °c = 702.24 kW

          .<em>3 Third, we determine the actual heat transfer rate, Q</em>

Q = C<em>min (</em>outlet Temp. of cold fluid - inlet Temp. of cold fluid)

Q = (5.016 kW/°c)(80 - 20) °c

Q<em>max</em> = (5.016 kW/°c)(60) °c = 303.66 kW

            .<em>4 Fourth, we determine Effectiveness of the heat exchanger, </em>ε

ε<em> </em>= Q/Qmax

ε <em>= </em>303.66 kW/702.24 kW

ε = 0.432

           .<em>5 Fifth, using appropriate  effective relation for double pipe counter flow to determine NTU for the heat exchanger</em>

NTU = \\ \frac{1}{C-1} ln(\frac{ε-1}{εc -1} )

NTU = \frac{1}{0.582-1} ln(\frac{0.432 -1}{0.432 X 0.582   -1} )

NTU = 0.661

          <em>.6 sixth, we determine Heat Exchanger surface area, As</em>

From the question, the overall heat transfer coefficient U = 640 W/m²

As = \frac{NTU C{min} }{U}

As = \frac{0.661 x 5016 W. °c }{640 W/m²}

As = 5.18 m²

            <em>.7 Finally, we determine the length of the heat exchanger, L</em>

L = \frac{As}{\pi D}

L = \frac{5.18 m² }{\pi (0.015 m)}

L= 109.91 m

L ≅ 110 m = 11,000 cm

Explain why different types of equipment are required for proper conditioning of air
blagie [28]

Answer:

 Different types of equipment are required for proper conditioning of air because every air conditional space faces some geometrical and environmental issues or problems. There are some different types of equipment used for conditioning of air that are air system, water system and air-water system. In many cases the air conditioning of the system varies with size of the equipment.

A water skier leaves the end of an 8 foot tall ski ramp with a speed of 20 mi/hr and at an angle of 250. He lets go of the tow r
klemol [59]

Answer:

At highest point:

y1 = 10.4 ft

v1 = (26.5*i + 0*j) ft/s

When he lands:

x2 = 31.5 ft (distance he travels)

t2 = 1.19 s

V2 = (26.5*i - 25.9*j) ft/s

a2 = -44.3°

Explanation:

Since he let go of the tow rope upon leaving the ramp he is in free fall from that moment on. In free fall he is affected only by the acceleration of gravity. Gravity has a vertical component only, so the movement will be at constant acceleration in the vertical component and at constant speed in the horizontal component.

20 mi / h = 29.3 ft/s

If the ramp has an angle of 25 degrees, the speed is

v0 = (29.3 * cos(25) * i + 29.3 * sin(25) * j) ft/s

v0 = (26.5*i + 12.4*j) ft/s

I set up the coordinate system with the origin at the base of the ramp under its end, so:

R0 = (0*i + 8*j) ft

The equation for the horizontal position is:

X(t) = X0 + Vx0 * t

The equation for horizontal speed is:

Vx(t) = Vx0

The equation for vertical position is:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

The equation for vertical speed is:

Vy(t) = Vy0 + a * t

In this frame of reference a is the acceleration of gravity and its values is -32.2 ft/s^2.

In the heighest point of the trajectory the vertical speed will be zero because that is the point where it transitions form going upwards (positive vertical speed) to going down (negative vertical speed), and it crosses zero.

0 = Vy0 + a * t1

a * t1 = -Vy0

t1 = -Vy0 / a

t1 = -12.4 / -32.2 = 0.38 s

y1 = y(0.38) = 8 + 12.4 * 0.38 + 1/2 * (-32.2) * (0.38)^2 = 10.4 ft

The velocity at that moment will be:

v1 = (26.5*i + 0*j) ft/s

When he lands in the water his height is zero.

0 = 8 + 12.4 * t2 + 1/2 * (-32.2) * t2^2

-16.1 * t2^2 + 12.4 * t2 + 8 = 0

Solving this equation electronically:

t2 = 1.19 s

Replacing this time on the position equation:

X(1.19) = 26.5 * 1.19 = 31.5 ft

The speed is:

Vx2 = 26.5 ft/s

Vy2 = 12.4 - 32.2 * 1.19 = -25.9 ft/s

V2 = (26.5*i - 25.9*j) ft/s

a2 = arctg(-25.9 / 26.5) = -44.3

According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel, horizontal pipe must not exceed 2.0 psi per 25
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

6.37 inch

Explanation:

Thinking process:

We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.

To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:

Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

\frac{P1}{\rho } + \frac{v_{2} }{2g} +z_{1}  = \frac{P2}{\rho } + \frac{v2^{2} }{2g} + z_{2} + f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}

thus

\frac{P1-P2}{\rho }  = f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.

Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F

from the tables

Re= 2.01 × 10⁵

Hence, f = 0.018

Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft

This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi

Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513

                                                                                                      = <u>6.37 in Ans</u>
