Answer:
The head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.
Explanation:
Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss. Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss when passes through the valve as well.
Given:
Factor cv is 48.
Flow rate of water is 30 GPM.
GPM means gallon per minute.
Calculation:
Step1
Expression for head loss for the water is given as follows:
Here, cv is valve coefficient, Q is flow rate in GPM and h is head loss is psi.
Step2
Substitute 48 for cv and 30 for Q in above equation as follows:
h = 0.390625 psi.
Thus, the head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Solution:-
- The shell and tube heat exchanger are designated by the order of tube and shell passes.
- A single tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, the fluid exits.
- A multiple tube pass: The fluid enters from inlet, exchange of heat, U bend of the fluid, exchange of heat, .... ( nth order of pass ), and then exits.
- By increasing the number of passes we have increased the "retention time" of a specific volume of tube fluid; hence, providing sufficient time for the fluid to exchange heat with the shell fluid.
- By making more U-turns we are allowing greater length for the fluid flow to develop with " constriction and turns " into turbulence. This turbulence usually at the final passes allows mixing of fluid and increases the heat transfer coefficient by:
U ∝ v^( 0.8 ) .... ( turbulence )
- The higher the velocity of the fluids the greater the heat transfer coefficient. The increase in the heat transfer coefficient will allow less heat energy carried by either of the fluids to be wasted ; hence, reduced losses.
Thereby, increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger ( higher NTU units ).
A 3-D model can be communicated, and can also be a visual model.
