The document presents a series of problems related to heat exchangers, including calculations for cooling oil using a counter-flow heat exchanger and a cross-flow heat exchanger. It also covers the determination of overall heat transfer coefficients, oil flow rates, and the impact of fouling resistance on heat transfer efficiency. Additionally, it addresses the design considerations for a shell and tube heat exchanger, including flow rates and tube dimensions.

Pb-1) It is desired to cool an oil to 30 °C in a counter-flow Th,in
heat exchanger. The initial temperature, flow rate and
specific heat of the oil are respectively 110 °C, 5000 kg/h
and 2100J/(kg. °C). The other fluid is water entering the Tc,in Tc,out
apparatus at 12ºC, whose flow rate and specific heat are
respectively 12000 kg/h and 4180 J/(kg.ºC). Assume that
the overall heat transfer coefficient is 300 W/(m2.ºC).
Calculate the water outlet temperature and the required
heat transfer area. Th,out
Pb-2) The counter-flow heat exchanger of the previous
problem is replaced by a cross-flow heat exchanger. The
oil flows inside the tubes while water is forced across the
tubes. Find the required area in this case. It will be
assumed that the overall coefficient of exchange remains
the same. Mixed fluid :
Water

Unmixed fluid : Oil


Pb-3) In a counter-flow "double-tube" heat exchanger,
the water is heated from 35 to 75ºC. The inlet and
outlet temperatures of the oil are respectively 100 and
75ºC. The inner and outer diameters of the central tube
are 40/50 mm with a length of 2 m and a thermal
conductivity of 46 W/m.ºC.
Knowing that :
Cpwater = 4180 J/kg.ºC, Cpoil = 1900 J/kg.ºC,
hwater = 2500 W/m2.ºC, hoil = 1200 W/m2.ºC. Find:
1) The overall heat transfer coefficient
2) The oil flowrate
3) After one year of operation, the water side represents
an additional resistance (fouling resistance) due to
deposits: Re = 4×10-4 (m2.ºC/W). Determine the new
overall heat transfer coefficient.
Pb-4)
The tube of the previous problem is now equipped with fins
(oil side). If the fin efficiency is 0.95, determine the overall
heat transfer coefficient.
Number of fins = 10
Height = 10mm
Thickness = 2mm
Pb-5) The water flows in the tubes of a shell and tube heat
exchanger with a flow rate of 4 kg/s and is heated from 35
to 55ºC. On the shell side, one pass is used where water is
the heating liquid, with a flow rate of 2 kg/s and an inlet
temperature of 95 ºC. The overall heat transfer coefficient
is 1420 W/(m2 ºC). The specific heat of the water on both
sides is 4180 J/kg.ºC and the average water velocity in the
tubes (with a diameter of 20 mm) is 0.4 m/s. Due to the
space limitations, the length of tube pass must not exceed
2.5 m. Calculate
a - the number of tubes per pass
b- the number of tube passes
c - the length of the tube pass in accordance with this
restriction
