Oil is cooled to 375K in concurrent heat exchanger by transferring its heat to the cooling
water that leaves the cooler at 300K. However, it is required that oil must be cooled down
to 350K by lengthening the cooler while the oil and water flow rates, their inlet
temperatures and other dimensions of the cooler remaining.
Air at 1 atm and 400K and with a velocity of U=10 m/s flows across a compact heat exchanger
matrix having the configuration of circular tube continuous fin heat exchanger. Surface 8.0-3/8T:
tube OD=1.02cm; fin pitch=3.15/cm; fin thickness=0.033cm; fin area/total area=0.839; air-passage

side. The length of the matrix is 0.6 m.
A gas-to-air single pass cross-flow plate-fin heat exchanger has overall dimensions of
0.300m X 0.600m X 0.900m and employs strip fins on the air side. The following

Distilled water with a flow rate of 50kg/s enters a baffled shell-and-tube heat exchanger at 32C
and leaves at 25C. Heat will be transferred to 150kg/s of raw water coming from a supply at
20C. Design a heat exchanger for this purpose. A single shell and tube pass is preferable. The
tube diameter is 19mm OD with 16mm ID and tubes are laid out on a 6.25cm2pitch. A maximum
length of the heat exchanger of 8m is required because of space limitations. The tube material
thermal conductivity is 42.3W/mK. Assume a total fouling resistance of 0.000176m2K/W. Note
that surface over design should not exceed 30%. The maximum flow velocity through the tube is
also suggested to be 2m/s to prevent erosion. Perform a thermal and hydraulic analysis of the heat
exchanger.

A heat exchanger is required to heat treated cooling water with a flow rate of 60 kg/s from 10C to
50C using the waste heat from water, cooling from 60C to 20C with the same flow rate as the
cold water. The maximum allowable pressure drop for both streams is 120 kPa. A gasketed plate
heat exchanger with 301 plates having a channel width of 50 cm and a vertical distance between
ports of 1.5 m is proposed and the plate pitch is 0.0035 m with an enlargement factor 1.25. The
spacing between the plates is 6 mm. Plates are made of stainless steel (16.5W/mK). For a two-pass
arrangement, analyze the problem to see if the proposed design is feasible. Could this heat
exchanger be smaller or larger?

A roller conveyor moves tote pans in one direction at 150 ft/min between a load station and an
unload station, a distance of 200 ft. The time to load parts into a tote pan at the load station is 3 sec
per part. Each tote pan holds 8 parts. In addition, it takes 9 sec to load a tote pan onto the conveyor.
Determine: (a) spacing between tote pan centers flowing in the conveyor system and (b) flow rate
of parts on the conveyor system. (c) Consider the effect of the unit load principle. Suppose the tote
pans were smaller and could hold only one part rather than eight. Determine the flow rate in this
case if it takes 7 sec to load a tote pan onto the conveyor (instead of 9 sec for the larger tote pan)
and it takes the same 3 sec to load the part into the tote pan.
