1. In a counter flow heat exchanger, water is being chilled by sodium chloride brine.
If the rate of flow of the brine is 1.8 kgs-1 and that of the water is 1.05 kgs-1 ,
estimate the temperature to which the water is cooled if the brine enters at –8 oC
and leaves at 10 oC, and if the water enters the exchanger at 32 oC. Take the
specific heats to be 3.38 and 4.18 kJkg-1oC -1 for the brine and the water
respectively. If the area of the heat-transfer surface of this exchanger is 55 m 2,
what is the overall heat transfer coefficient?

Floating Head Heat Exchanger Advantages

 Tube bundle can be pulled out to facilitate cleaning the tubeside and shell side.
 Temperature difference between two medium is not limited.
 The heat exchanger can be operated under high temperature and high pressure, the
average temperature is less than or equal to 450℃，and pressure is less than or equal to
6.4MPa.
 This kind of heat exchanger is suitable for the serious scaling occasion.
 This kind of heat exchanger is suitable for the easy corrosion occasion.

Function
1. Direct the shell side fluid over
the tube bundle
2. Split the tube side flow
3. Split the shell side flow
4. Protects the tubes just below
the shell side inlet nozzle
5. Provides supports for the tubes
and prevents mixing of the shell
side and tube side fluid
6. Maintains the baffles spacing
7. Provides flow through the tubes
8. Allows expansion of the tube
bundle
Identify the different flow patterns encountered in Heat exchangers

Given that:
Hot fluid inlet T = 90 oC
Cold fluid inlet T = 20 oC
Hot fluid outlet T = 60 oC
Cold fluid outlet T = 40 oC
Evaluate the log mean temperature difference for the following flow arrangement:
 Parallel flow
 Counter current flow

Which heat exchanger will require the smaller heat transfer area for the trnasfer of the same quantity
of heat?
Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient for a heat exchanger with:
o
a) Q = 120 kW, A = 70 m2, ΔT LM = 48 C
o
b) Q = 1.5 MW, A = 150 m2, ΔT LM = 75 C
o
c) Q = 150000 W, A = 100 m2, ΔT LM = 60 C

In a counter flow heat exchanger, water is being chilled by sodium chloride brine. If
the rate of flow of the brine is 1.8 kgs-1 and that of the water is 1.05 kgs-1 , estimate
the temperature to which the water is cooled if the brine enters at –8 oC and leaves
at 10 oC, and if the water enters the exchanger at 32 oC. Take the specific heats to be
3.38 and 4.18 kJkg-1oC -1 for the brine and the water respectively. If the area of the
heat-transfer surface of this exchanger is 55 m2, what is the overall heat transfer
coefficient?
The three (3) letters TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association)
designation is the standard method for identifying the type of channels and the
type of shell of shell-and-tube heat exchangers.   

Tema Designations
1. The first letter describes the front header type,
2. The second letter the shell type and
3. The third letter the rear header type.
Triangular pitch is most often applied because of higher heat transfer and
compactness it provides.  Square pitch facilitates mechanical cleaning of the outside of
the tubes.
