A counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger is used to heat water from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be com

pleted by geothermal water available at 160°C 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/m2K, determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve the required heating.

Answer:L=109.16 m

Explanation:

Given

initial temperature =20^{\circ}C

Final Temperature =80^{\circ}C

mass flow rate of cold fluid \dot{m_c}=1.2 kg/s

Initial Geothermal water temperature T_h_i=160^{\circ}C

Let final Temperature be T

mass flow rate of geothermal water \dot{m_h}=2 kg/s

diameter of inner wall d_i=1.5 cm

U_{overall}=640 W/m^2K

specific heat of water c=4.18 kJ/kg-K

balancing energy

Heat lost by hot fluid=heat gained by cold Fluid

\dot{m_c}c(T_h_i-T_h_e)= \dot{m_h}c(80-20)

2\times (160-T)=1.2\times (80-20)

160-T=36

T=124^{\circ}C

As heat exchanger is counter flow therefore

\Delta T_1=160-80=80^{\circ}C

\Delta T_2=124-20=104^{\circ}C

LMTD=\frac{\Delta T_1-\Delta T_2}{\ln (\frac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2})}

LMTD=\frac{80-104}{\ln \frac{80}{104}}

LMTD=91.49^{\circ}C

heat lost or gain by Fluid is equal to heat transfer in the heat exchanger

\dot{m_c}c(80-20)=U\cdot A\cdot (LMTD)

A=\frac{1.2\times 4.184\times 1000\times 60}{640\times 91.49}=5.144 m^2

A=\pi DL=5.144

L=\frac{5.144}{\pi \times 0.015}

L=109.16 m

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

The answer to this question can be found by applying the right hand rule for which the pointer finger is in the direction of the electron movement, the thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, so the effect that this will have on the electrons is the direction that the middle finger points in which is right in this example.

So as a result of the magnetic field directed vertically downwards which is at a right angle with the electron beams, the electrons will move to the right and the spot will be deflected to the right of the screen when looking from the electron source.

I hope this answer helps.
