Cold water (cp = 4180 J/kg·K) leading to a shower enters a thin-walled double-pipe counterflow heat exchanger at 15°C at a rate

of 0.25 kg/s and is heated to 45°C by hot water (cp = 4190 J/kg·K) that enters at 100°C at a rate of 3 kg/s. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 950 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer surface area of the heat exchanger using the ε–NTU method. Answers: 31.35 kW, 0.482 m2

Answer:

The rate of heat transfer is  H = 31.35\  kW

The heat transfer surface area is  A_s = 0.4818 m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

          The  specific heat of water is cp = 4180 \ J/kg \cdot K

           The temperature of cold water is T_c = 15^o C

            The rate of cold the flow is \r m = 0.25 kg/s

           The temperature of the heated water T_h = 45 ^oC

            The specific heat of hot water is  c_p__{H}} = 4190 J/kg \cdot K

              The temperature of the hot water is T_H = 100^oC

               The rate of hot the flow is \r m_H = 3 kg/s

               The heat transfer coefficient is U = 950 W/m^2 \cdot K,

From the \epsilon -NTU method we have that

       C_h  = \r m_H c_p__{H}}

Where C_h is the heat capacity rate of hot  water

      Substituting the value

            C_h = 3 * (4190)

                 = 12,5700\ W/^oC

Also

      C_c = \r m c_p

Where C_c is the heat capacity rate of cold  water

        C_c = 0.25 * 4180

              = 1045 \ W / ^oC

The maximum heat capacity C_h and the minimum  heat capacity is C_c

       The maximum heat transfer is

                H_{max}  =  C_c (T_H - T_c)

Substituting values  

               H_{max} = (1045)(100- 15)

                          = 88,825\  W

The actual heat transfer is mathematically evaluated as

               H = C_c (T_h - T_c)

Substituting values

               H = 1045 (45 - 15 )

                    H = 31350 \ W

                    H = 31.35\  kW

The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is mathematically evaluated as

             \epsilon = \frac{H}{H_{max}}

  Substituting values  

           \epsilon = \frac{31350}{88,825}

              = 0.35

The NTU of the heat exchanger is mathematically represented as

          NTU = \frac{1}{C-1} ln [\frac{\epsilon - 1}{\epsilon C -1} ]

Where C is the ratio of the minimum to the maximum heat capacity which is mathematically represented as

             C = \frac{C_c}{C_h}

Substituting values

             C = \frac{1045}{12,570}

                 = 0.083

Substituting values in to the equation for NTU

         NTU = \frac{1}{0.083 -1} ln[\frac{0.35 - 1}{0.35 * (0.083 - 1)} ]

                   = 0.438

Generally the heat transfer surface area can be mathematically represented as

         A_s = \frac{NTU C_c}{U}

Substituting values

          A_s = \frac{(0.438) (1045)}{950}

              A_s = 0.4818 m^2

When lining up the song on the tempo grid it is important to allow
Reika [66]

Tempo decides the speed at which the music is played.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Tempo of a bit of music decides the speed at which it is played, and is estimated in beats per minute (BPM). The 'beat' is dictated when mark of the piece, so 100 BPM in 4/4 compares to 100 quarter notes in a single moment.

A quick tempo, prestissimo, has somewhere in the range of 200 and 208 beats for each moment, presto has 168 to 200 beats for every moment, allegro has somewhere in the range of 120 and 168 beats for every moment, moderato has 108 to 120 beats for every moment, moderately slow and even has 76 to 108, adagio has 66 to 76, larghetto has 60 to 66, and largo, the slowest rhythm, has 40 to 60.

What’s the difference between quality and quantity
Lesechka [4]
Quality is how good something is. Like how good the material is. Like the quality of the IPhone X is better than the quality of the iPhone 6s + because it has more features and can sustain better hold
Quantity is how much. Like the quantity of the m&ms were split evenly.
I dont know exactly if that makes sense but there ya go
