ASSIGNMENT -2 Heat Exchanger (CO4)

1 Dry saturated steam at 10 bar enters a counter-flow heat exchanger at the rate of 15 kg/s and
leaves at 300°C. The entry of gas at 600°C is with mass flow rate of 25 kg/s. If the condenser
tubes are 30 mm diameter and 3 m long, make calculations for the heating surface area and the
number of tubes required. Neglect the resistance offered by the metallic tubes.

Take the following properties for steam and gas:

2 Define fouling factor? Explain its effect on the performance of a heat exchanger?

3 Derive equation of logarithmic mean temperature difference for Counter flow heat exchanger.

4 Define effectiveness of heat exchanger. Derive equation for effectiveness of a Parallel flow heat
exchanger.
