The chief engineer at a university that is constructing large number of new student dormitories decides install a counterflow co
ncentric tube heat exchanger on each of the dormitory shower drains. The thin walled copper drains are of diameter Di 50 m. Wastewater from the shower enters the heat exchanger at Th,i 38 C while fresh water enters the dormitory Tc,i 10 C. The wastewater flows down the vertical wall of the drain in a thin, falling film, providing hh 10,000 W/m2. K.
A) If the annular gap is d = 10 mm, the heat exchanger length is L = 1 m, and the water flow rate is mdot = 10 kg/min, determine the heat transfer rate and the outlet temperature of the warmed fresh water.
B) If a helical spring is installed in the annular gap so the fresh water is forced to follow a spiral path from the inlet to the fresh water outlet, resulting in h_c = 9050 W/m2·K, determine the heat transfer rate and the outlet temperature of the fresh water.
C) Based on the result for part (b), calculate the daily savings if 15,000 students each take a 10-minute shower per day and the cost of water heating is $0.07/kW·h.

Answer:
pipe is old one with increased roughness
Explanation:
discharge is given as
V = 7.07 m/s
from bernou;ii's theorem we have
as we know pipe is horizontal and with constant velocity so we have
solving for friction factor f
f = 0.0324
fro galvanized iron pipe we have
reynold number is
Re = 378750
from moody chart
therefore new friction factor is less than old friction factoer hence pipe is not new one
now for Re = 378750 and f = 0.0324
from moody chart
we have
thus pipe is old one with increased roughness
