Cold water (cp = 4180 J/kg·K) leading to a shower enters a thin-walled double-pipe counterflow heat exchanger at 15°C at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and is heated to 45°C by hot water (cp = 4190 J/kg·K) that enters at 100°C at a rate of 3 kg/s. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 950 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer surface area of the heat exchanger using the ε–NTU method. Answers: 31.35 kW, 0.482 m2

The rate of heat transfer is $H = 31.35\ kW$

The heat transfer surface area is A_s = 0.4818 m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The specific heat of water is $cp = 4180 \ J/kg \cdot K$

The temperature of cold water is T_c = 15^o C

The rate of cold the flow is $\r m = 0.25 kg/s$

The temperature of the heated water T_h = 45 ^oC

The specific heat of hot water is $c_p__{H}} = 4190 J/kg \cdot K$

The temperature of the hot water is T_H = 100^oC

The rate of hot the flow is $\r m_H = 3 kg/s$

The heat transfer coefficient is $U = 950 W/m^2 \cdot K,$

From the $\epsilon -NTU$ method we have that

$C_h = \r m_H c_p__{H}}$

Where C_h is the heat capacity rate of hot water

Substituting the value

C_h = 3 * (4190)

$= 12,5700\ W/^oC$

Also

$C_c = \r m c_p$

Where C_c is the heat capacity rate of cold water

C_c = 0.25 * 4180

$= 1045 \ W / ^oC$

The maximum heat capacity C_h and the minimum heat capacity is C_c

The maximum heat transfer is

$H_{max} = C_c (T_H - T_c)$

Substituting values

$H_{max} = (1045)(100- 15)$

$= 88,825\ W$

The actual heat transfer is mathematically evaluated as

H = C_c (T_h - T_c)

Substituting values

H = 1045 (45 - 15 )

$H = 31350 \ W$

$H = 31.35\ kW$

The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is mathematically evaluated as

$\epsilon = \frac{H}{H_{max}}$

Substituting values

$\epsilon = \frac{31350}{88,825}$

= 0.35

The NTU of the heat exchanger is mathematically represented as

$NTU = \frac{1}{C-1} ln [\frac{\epsilon - 1}{\epsilon C -1} ]$

Where C is the ratio of the minimum to the maximum heat capacity which is mathematically represented as

$C = \frac{C_c}{C_h}$

Substituting values

$C = \frac{1045}{12,570}$

= 0.083

Substituting values in to the equation for NTU

$NTU = \frac{1}{0.083 -1} ln[\frac{0.35 - 1}{0.35 * (0.083 - 1)} ]$

= 0.438

Generally the heat transfer surface area can be mathematically represented as

$A_s = \frac{NTU C_c}{U}$

Substituting values

$A_s = \frac{(0.438) (1045)}{950}$

A_s = 0.4818 m^2

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
