1. Calculate the LMTD for the parallel-flow and counter-flow in the following cases in which the
hot fluid is cooled from 200 to 100℉ and the cold fluid is heated through an equal range in
each case. (a) 90 to 140℉, (b) 80 to 13℉ and (c) 60 to 110℉. Comment about the nature of
deviation of LMTD from the arithmetic mean of two terminal differences in each case. Also
comment about the magnitude of LMTD in both parallel and counter flow cases and select the
batter one with justification.
2. A 40° API kerosene is cooled from 400 to 200℉ by heating 34° API crude oil from 100 to
200℉. Between what caloric temperatures is the heat transferred, and how do these deviate
from mean.
3. A counter-flow concentric tube heat exchanger is used to cool the heated process water. The
flow rate of cooling water through the inner tube is (Di = 25 mm, wall thickness = 3 mm) is
0.2kg/sec, while the flow rate of process water through outer annulus (Do = 45 mm, wall
thickness = 3 mm) is 0.1kg/sec. The hot and cold fluid enter at temperatures 80 and 30℃
respectively. Calculate the wall temperature of inner tube and overall heat transfer coefficient
if the exit temperature of hot fluid is 60℃.

4. Complete Exercise of Chapter # 6 from “Process Heat Transfer” by D. Q. Kern
