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

Earth's rotational axis completes one precession every _____.
ruslelena [56]

A). Earth completes one rotation on its rotation axis
every (3 minutes and 56 seconds less than 24 hours).
This causes night and day.  It's rotation, not precession.

B).  Earth completes one orbital revolution around the sun
every (365 plus a little bit) days.  It's revolution, not precession.

C).  I'm not sure what happens on a cycle of 512 years.
It may have something to do with the moon.  But whatever
it is, it's not precession.

D).  When you spin a top and it starts to run down, the first
thing that happens is that the handle of the top, or the point
on top of the top, starts moving in a circle.  That's precession.
That's what the Earth's axis is doing.  The north pole points
toward the north star (Polaris) now.  But the north pole is
actually drawing out a big circle in the sky, and other stars
will become the "north star" far in the future.
The north pole draws out a full circle in the sky, roughly
once every 26,000 years.  That's precession.
