1 Define effectiveness of a heat exchanger. Write the equation of effectiveness Remembering
in case of parallel flow heat exchanger and counter flow heat exchanger.
2 What do you mean by NTU method Understanding
The flow rates of hot and cold water streams running through a parallel flow
heat exchanger are 0.2 kg/s and 0.5 kg/s respectively. The inlet temperatures
3 on the hot and cold sides are 750C and 250C respectively. The exit

temperature of hot water is 450C. If the individual heat transfer coefficient on
both sides are 650 W/m2 0C. Calculate the area of the heat exchanger.

A counter-flow heat exchanger is employed to cool 0.55 kg/s

(cp = 2.45 kJ/kg 0C) of oil from 1150C to 400C by the use of water. The inlet
and outlet temperatures of cooling water are 150C and 750C respectively. The
overall heat transfer coefficient is expected to be 1450 W/m2 0C. Using NTU
4 method, Calculate: Evaluating
(i) mass flow rate of cooling water,
(ii) the effectiveness of heat exchanger.
(iii) The surface area required

The following data relate to a parallel flow heat exchanger in which air is
heated by hot exhaust gases
Heat transferred per hour = 155450 kJ
Inside heat transfer coefficient = 120 W/m2 0C
Outside heat transfer coefficient = 195 W/m2 0C
5 Inlet and outlet temperature of hot fluid is 4500C and 2500C respectively Evaluating
Inlet and outlet temperature of cold fluid is 4500C and 2500C respectively
Inside and outside diameter of the tube is 50mm and 60mm respectively
Calculate the length of the tube required for necessary heat transfer to occur.
Neglect the tube resistance
