A counter-flow double pipe heat exchanger is heat heat water from 20 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius at the rate of 1.2 kg

/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water available at 160 degrees Celsius 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 649 W/m2K, determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve the desired heating.

Answer:

L=107.6m

Explanation:

Cold water in: m_{c}=1.2kg/s, C_{c}=4.18kJ/kg\°C, T_{c,in}=20\°C, T_{c,out}=80\°C

Hot water in: m_{h}=2kg/s, C_{h}=4.18kJ/kg\°C, T_{h,in}=160\°C, T_{h,out}=?\°C

D=1.5cm=0.015m, U=649W/m^{2}K, LMTD=?\°C, A_{s}=?m^{2},L=?m

Step 1: Determine the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger

Q=m_{c}C_{c}(T_{c,out}-T_{c,in})

Q=1.2*4.18*(80-20)

Q=1.2*4.18*(80-20)

Q=300.96kW

Step 2: Determine outlet temperature of hot water

Q=m_{h}C_{h}(T_{h,in}-T_{h,out})

300.96=2*4.18*(160-T_{h,out})

T_{h,out}=124\°C

Step 3: Determine the Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD)

dT_{1}=T_{h,in}-T_{c,out}

dT_{1}=160-80

dT_{1}=80\°C

dT_{2}=T_{h,out}-T_{c,in}

dT_{2}=124-20

dT_{2}=104\°C

LMTD = \frac{dT_{2}-dT_{1}}{ln(\frac{dT_{2}}{dT_{1}})}

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

LMTD = \frac{24}{ln(1.3)}

LMTD = 91.48\°C

Step 4: Determine required surface area of heat exchanger

Q=UA_{s}LMTD

300.96*10^{3}=649*A_{s}*91.48

A_{s}=5.07m^{2}

Step 5: Determine length of heat exchanger

A_{s}=piDL

5.07=pi*0.015*L

L=107.57m

Refrigerant-134a at 400 psia has a specific volume of 0.1144 ft3/lbm. Determine the temperature of the refrigerant based on (a)
vekshin1

Answer:

a) Using Ideal gas Equation, T = 434.98°R = 435°R

b) Using Van Der Waal's Equation, T = 637.32°R = 637°R

c) T obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is T = 559.67°R = 560°R

Explanation:

a) Ideal gas Equation

PV = mRT

T = PV/mR

P = pressure = 400 psia

V/m = specific volume = 0.1144 ft³/lbm

R = gas constant = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T = 400 × 0.1144/0.1052 = 434.98 °R

b) Van Der Waal's Equation

T = (1/R) (P + (a/v²)) (v - b)

a = Van Der Waal's constant = (27R²(T꜀ᵣ)²)/(64P꜀ᵣ)

R = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T꜀ᵣ = critical temperature for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 673.6°R

P꜀ᵣ = critical pressure for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 588.7 psia

a = (27 × 0.1052² × 673.6²)/(64 × 588.7)

a = 3.596 ft⁶.psia/lbm²

b = (RT꜀ᵣ)/8P꜀ᵣ

b = (0.1052 × 673.6)/(8 × 588.7) = 0.01504 ft³/lbm

T = (1/0.1052) (400 + (3.596/0.1144²) (0.1144 - 0.01504) = 637.32°R

c) The temperature for the refrigerant-134a as obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is

T = 100°F = 559.67°R

Wewaii [24]
When a psychologist simply records the relationship between two variables without manipulating them, it is called a correlational study.

The observed relationship does not by itself reveal which variable causes the other. This is the directionally problem. Also, the relationship may be due to a third variable controlling both of the observed variables.
