Determine the area required in parallel flow heat exchanger to cool oil from 60C to 30C using water

available at 20C. The outlet temperature of the water is 26C. The rate of flow of oil is 10 kg/s. The
specific heat of the oil is 2200 J/kg K. The overall heat transfer coefficient U = 300 W/m2 K. Compare
the area required for a counter flow exchager.
In a heat exchanger of double tube arrangement the inner tube is of 25 mm ID and 30 mm OD. The
outer pipe is of 50 mm ID. Hot water flows inside at a rate of 1 l/s and cold water flows at a rate of 2
l/s in the annular space. The inlet temperatures of the hot and cold water are 30C and 80C. The
tube is 3 m long and is made of material with a conductivity of 40.5 W/mK. Determine the overall heat
transfer coefficient for the exchanger assuming that its performance has to be guaranteed for 3 years.
A heat exchanger of the counter flow type with inlet temperatures of hot and cold fluids of 200C and
50C gave outlet temperature of 100C for both fluids when the surfaces were clean. After some
extended use for the same flow rate and inlet temperatures, the hot fluid outlet was 120C. Determine
the percentage change in the value overall heat transfer coefficient and the heat transfer.
A double-pipe heat exchanger (inside tube diameter of 0.5 m cools engine oil from 160C to 60C.
Water at 25C is used as a coolant. Mass flow rates are 2 kg/sec for both fluids. Estimate the length
of the exchanger if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 250 W/m

Un intercambiador de doble tubo se sobredise debido a que no haba datos disponibles respecto
a la velocidad en que se acumulaba el lodo. El intercambiador se dise originalmente para enfriar
13000 lb/h de cido actico de 250 a 150F calentando 19000 lb/h de alcohol butlico de 100 a
157F. Un coeficiente de diseo U
D
= 85 se empleo, pero durante la operacin inicial se obtuvo
una temperatura de 117F a la salida del lquido caliente. Y aument durante la operacin a una
velocidad promedio de 3F por mes. Qu factor de obstruccin debi de especificarse para un ciclo
de seis meses de operacin?
Ortoxyleno procedente de un tanque de almacenamiento que est a 100F debe calentarse a 150F
enfriando 18000 lb/h de alcohol butlico de 170 a 140F. Disponibles para este propsito hay cinco
horquillas de 20 pies cuyos nulos y tubos estn colocados en serie. Los intercambiadores son de 3
