2. A counter flow tube-shell heat exchanger is used to heat a cold water stream from 18 to 78oC at a flow rate of 1 kg/s. Heatin

g is provided by a superhot water stream in the shell at 160oC flowing at 1.8 kg/s. Inner tube diameter is 1.4 cm while the tube wall is very thin. Overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner tube is 630 W/m2 K. Assume constant water properties in the cold stream; use values at 320K. The cp value for the hot stream is 4.30 kJ/kg K. (30%) a. Determine the length of the heat exchanger using the ε-NTU method; b. Estimate the cold side heat transfer coefficient.

Answer:

a) L = 220\,m, b) U_{o} \approx 0.63\,\frac{kW}{m^{2}\cdot ^{\textdegree}C}

Explanation:

a) The counterflow heat exchanger is presented in the attachment. Given that cold water is an uncompressible fluid, specific heat does not vary significantly with changes on temperature. Let assume that cold water has the following specific heat:

c_{p,c} = 4.186\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C}

The effectiveness of the counterflow heat exchanger as a function of the capacity ratio and NTU is:

\epsilon = \frac{1-e^{-NTU\cdot(1-c)}}{1-c\cdot e^{-NTU\cdot (1-c)}}

The capacity ratio is:

c = \frac{C_{min}}{C_{max}}

c = \frac{(1\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot(4.186\,\frac{kW}{kg^{\textdegree}C} )}{(1.8\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot(4.30\,\frac{kW}{kg^{\textdegree}C} )}

c = 0.541

Heat exchangers with NTU greater than 3 have enormous heat transfer surfaces and are not justified economically. Let consider that NTU = 2.5. The efectiveness of the heat exchanger is:

\epsilon = \frac{1-e^{-(2.5)\cdot(1-0.541)}}{1-(2.5)\cdot e^{-(2.5)\cdot (1-0.541)}}

\epsilon \approx 0.824

The real heat transfer rate is:

\dot Q = \epsilon \cdot \dot Q_{max}

\dot Q = \epsilon \cdot C_{min}\cdot (T_{h,in}-T_{c,in})

\dot Q = (0.824)\cdot (4.186\,\frac{kW}{^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (160^{\textdegree}C-18^{\textdegree}C)

\dot Q = 489.795\,kW

The exit temperature of the hot fluid is:

\dot Q = \dot m_{h}\cdot c_{p,h}\cdot (T_{h,in}-T_{h,out})

T_{h,out} = T_{h,in} - \frac{\dot Q}{\dot m_{h}\cdot c_{p,h}}

T_{h,out} = 160^{\textdegree}C + \frac{489.795\,kW}{(7.74\,\frac{kW}{^{\textdegree}C} )}

T_{h,out} = 96.719^{\textdegree}C

The log mean temperature difference is determined herein:

\Delta T_{lm} = \frac{(T_{h,in}-T_{c, out})-(T_{h,out}-T_{c,in})}{\ln\frac{T_{h,in}-T_{c, out}}{T_{h,out}-T_{c,in}} }

\Delta T_{lm} = \frac{(160^{\textdegree}C-78^{\textdegree}C)-(96.719^{\textdegree}C-18^{\textdegree}C)}{\ln\frac{160^{\textdegree}C-78^{\textdegree}C}{96.719^{\textdegree}C-18^{\textdegree}C} }

\Delta T_{lm} \approx 80.348^{\textdegree}C

The heat transfer surface area is:

A_{i} = \frac{\dot Q}{U_{i}\cdot \Delta T_{lm}}

A_{i} = \frac{489.795\,kW}{(0.63\,\frac{kW}{m^{2}\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot(80.348^{\textdegree}C) }

A_{i} = 9.676\,m^{2}

Length of a single pass counter flow heat exchanger is:

L =\frac{A_{i}}{\pi\cdot D_{i}}

L = \frac{9.676\,m^{2}}{\pi\cdot (0.014\,m)}

L = 220\,m

b) Given that tube wall is very thin, inner and outer heat transfer areas are similar and, consequently, the cold side heat transfer coefficient is approximately equal to the hot side heat transfer coefficient.

U_{o} \approx 0.63\,\frac{kW}{m^{2}\cdot ^{\textdegree}C}

The inlet and exhaust flow processes are not included in the analysis of the Otto cycle. How do these processes affect the Otto
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Suction and exhaust processes do not affect the performance of Otto cycle.

Explanation:

Step1

Inlet and exhaust flow processes are not including in the Otto cycle because the effect and nature of both the process are same in opposite direction.

Step2

Inlet process or the suction process is the process of suction of working fluid inside the cylinder. The suction process is the constant pressure process. The exhaust process is the process of exhaust out at constant pressure.

Step3

The suction and exhaust process have same work and heat in opposite direction. So, net effect of suction and exhaust processes cancels out. The suction and exhaust processes are shown below in P-V diagram of Otto cycle:

Process 0-1 is suction process and process 1-0 is exhaust process.

________ are written to “maximize” or “minimize” a specific value associated with the product needs in order to define the goal
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Objective statements.

Explanation:

An objective statement can be defined as a short statement that explicitly states or describes what a person wants exactly or is looking out for in a particular item.

Objective statements are written to “maximize” or “minimize” a specific value associated with the product needs in order to define the goal or aim of the design process.

This ultimately implies that, objective statements are used by various manufacturing industries or companies to explicitly define the minimum or maximum requirements for the production of its goods.

Reasons for racking back on a wall
zmey [24]

Answer:

Racking is the term used for when buildings tilt as their structural components are forced out of plumb. This is most commonly caused by wind forces exerting horizontal pressure, but it can also be caused by seismic stress, thermal expansion or contraction, and so on.
