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

Air at atmospheric pressure and at 300K flows with a velocity of 1.5m/s over a flat plate. The transition from laminar to turbul
Savatey [412]

Answer:3.47 m

Explanation:

Given

Temperature(T)=300 K

velocity(v)=1.5 m/s

At 300 K

\mu =1.846 \times 10^{-5} Pa-s

\rho =1.77 kg/m^3

And reynold's number is given by

Re.=\frac{\rho v\time x}{\mu }

5\times 10^5=\frac{1.77\times 1.5\times x}{1.846\times 10^{-5}}

x=\frac{5\times 10^5\times 1.846\times 10^{-5}}{1.77\times 1.5}

x=3.47 m

2. Determine the surface area of a primary settling tank sized to handle a maximum hourly flow of 0.570 m3/s at an overflow rate
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The surface area of the primary settling tank is 0.0095 m^2.

The effective theoretical detention time is 0.05 s.

Explanation:

The surface area of the tank is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the overflow rate.

Volumetric flow rate = 0.570 m^3/s

Overflow rate = 60 m/s

Surface area = 0.570 m^3/s ÷ 60 m/s = 0.0095 m^2

Detention time is calculated by dividing the volume of the tank by the its volumetric flow rate

Volume of the tank = surface area × depth = 0.0095 m^2 × 3 m = 0.0285 m^3

Detention time = 0.0285 m^3 ÷ 0.570 m^3/s = 0.05 s
