PART-C (2 x 20 = marks)
(Question 11 is compulsory)

11. A counter flow double pie heat exchanger is to heat water from 20 O C to 80 O C at rate
of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water available at 160 O C
at a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inner tube is thin walled and has. Determine the length
of heat exchanger required to achieve desired heating by LMTD & NTU methods.
Cp for hot fluid = 4310 J/kg C, Cp for cold fluid = 4180 J/ kg C

12. Water is to be boiled at atmospheric pressure in a polished stainless steel pan placed on
top of heating unit. The inner surface of bottom of the pan is maintained at 108 O C. If
the diameter of the pan is 30 cm, determine the rate of heat transfer to the water and the
rate of evaporation
The properties of water at saturation temperature are as follows,
σ = 0.0589 N/m, ρv= 0.6 kg/m3, ρl = 957.9 kg/m3, μl = 0.282 x 10-3 kg/m.s,

Or
An evaporator is to be fed with 6500 kg/hr of solution containing 8 % solute by weight.
The feed is at 40 O C is to be concentrated to a solution containing 38 % by weight of
solute under an absolute pressure of 1.03 kg/cm2. Steam is available at 3 atm (saturation
temperature of 134 OC). The overall heat transfer coefficient is 1400 kcal/hr m2. C.
Calculate the heat transfer area to be provided and the steam requirement.
Treat the solution as pure water for purposes of enthalpy calculations.
