1. We need to desing a single-shell pass and multi-tube pass exchanger to heat

water (in tubes) at a rate 5 kg/s from 30ºC to 50ºC. Hot brine at 90ºC is available
at the rate of 2.5 kg/s for the purpose. It is made to flow throungh the sell. Tobes
of 2 cm diameter are available, and the pumping power requirement restricts the
flow velocity inside the tubes to 0.35 m/.The overall heat-transfer coefficient is
1550 W/𝑚2 𝐾. The length of a single tube is restricted to 2 m, determine the
number of tube pases to be used, the total number of tubes in one pass, and the
length of the tubes required

2. A cross-flow exchanger consists of 40 thin-walled tubes of 1 cm diameter located

in a duct with a cross section of 1m*1m. There are no fins attached to the tubes.
Cold water (cp=4180 J/kgºC) enters the tubes at 18ºC with an average speed of
3m/s while hot air enters the channel (cp=1010 J/KgºC) at 130ºC and 105 Kpa at
an average speed of 12 m/s determine the outlet temperatures of the two fluids
and the heat transfer rate

3. During normal operation, the value generated within the computer is transferred
to the dielectric fluid that passes through the computer at a flow of 4.81 kg/s. In
turn, the fluid passes through the tubes to the heat exchanger and the heat is
transferred to the water that passes over the tubes. It can be assumed that the fluid
dielectric has constant properties cp = 1040 J/kg • K μ= 7.65 kg/s and an inlet
temperature of 5°C passes over the tubes. Water has a specific heat of 4200 J/kg
• K and provides an average convection coefficient of 10,000 W/m2 •K on the
external surface of the tubes
If the heat exchanger consists of 72 thin-walled tubes, each 10 mm in diameter,
and a fully developed flow is assumed to exist. Inside the tubes, what is the
 convection coefficient associated with the flow through the tubes? What would be
the length of the exchanger tube?

4. Water enters a counter-flow doublé pipe heat exchanger at 15ªC, flowing at a

rate of 1300 kg/hr. It is heated by an oil specific heat 2000 J/kgK flowing at a rate
of 550 kg/hr with an inlet temperatura of 94ºC considerar pared delgada y área

5. An oil cooler consists of a straight tube 2 cm OD and 0.2 cm thick, enclosed within
a pipe and concentric with it. The external pipe is well insulated. Oil flows through
the tube at 0.05 kg/s (Cp=2 kJ/kgK) and cooling liquid flow in the annulus in the
opposite direction at a rate of 0.1 kg/s. The oil enters the cooler at 180ºC and
leaves 80ºC while the cooling liquid enters at 30ºC. Calculate the length of the
tube required if the heat-transfer coefficient from oil to tube Surface is 2 kW/𝑚2 𝐾
and from the Surface to water is 4 kW/𝑚2 𝐾. Neglect the resistance due to the
tube wall and fouling

6. 7,000 Ib/h of oil must be heated to 100 to 150°F by cooling 10,000 lb/h of toluene
with an initial temperature of 185°F, in 2 by 1 in. IPS by 15 ft long double tube
forks. Pressure drops of 10 lb/in^2 are allowed, and a clogging factor of 0.005 is
required. How many fork sections are required?

7. 37 000 lb/h of an organic compound whose properties are very approximated to

diesel, they must be heated by steam in the tubes of a clean exchanger because the
shell deflectors are semicircular support plates. The oil should be heated to 100 to
200°F with steam at 325°F.
A 27 in. ID double-tube exchanger is available that contains 334 tubes of 1 in.
D,E, 16 BWG, 16 ft long two-pass tubes, arranged in triangular pitch 11/4 in.

What is the actual oil outlet temperature if the fluid is mixed between the steps?
8. A thermoelectric plant. To achieve the condensation of 3.2 kg/s of water vapor
leaving the turbine, a shell and tube exchanger is used that has a shell and 220
thin-walled tubes, 25 mm in diameter; each tube is two passes.
 Steam flows through the shell, while cooling water flows through tubes. The vapor
enters as a saturated vapor at 60°C and leaves as a saturated liquid. There is
cooling water at 20°C, at a rate of 200 kg/s. Determine
a) the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser and b) the required
tube length per pass.
9. The mass rate, specific heat, and inlet temperature of the inner tube flow in a twin-
tube, parallel-flow heat exchanger are 3200 kg/h, 2.0 kJ/kg · K, and 120°C,
respectively. . The mass flow rate, specific heat and inlet temperature of the other
flow are 2 000kg/h, 4.2 kJ/kg · K and 20°C, respectively. The heat transfer area
and the total heat transfer coefficient are 0.50 m2 and 2.0 kW/m2 · K, respectively.
Find the outlet temperatures of the two flows in case of steady operation

10. The oil in an engine is cooled by air inside a cross-flow heat exchanger, where the
two fluids are not mixed. The oil (cp = 2 047 J/kg · K) flowing at a rate of 0.026
kg/s enters from the side of the tubes at 75ºC, while the air (cp = 1 007 J/kg · K)
enters from the of the shell at 30ºC with a flow rate of 0.21 kg/s. The total heat
transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 53 W/m2·K and the heat transfer
surface area is 1 m2. If the correction factor is F = 0.96, determine the outlet

11. It is desired to design a double tube adiabatic heat exchanger to cool 6000 Ib/h of
water from 200 to 150 °F, using an equal amount of water entering at 100 °F. The
cooling water will flow through the inner tube, while the water to be cooled will
flow countercurrent through the annular space that exists between the tubes. It is
proposed to form the annulus by means of normal steel tubes, 2 and 3 inches,
installed concentrically. If this plan is followed, what length of exchanger is
needed?
12. 20 000 Ib/h of air is to be cooled from 150 to 100°F by water flowing in a shell
and tube heat exchanger. Cooling water is available at 70° F and must leave the
exchanger at 95° F. For this cooling, an exchanger with two passes in the shell
and eight in the tubes is available, consisting of 50 18 BWG copper tubes of 1
inch O.D., each 10 feet in length. The tubes are arranged within a 10 in. shell with
a 1 1/4 in. stepped triangular system, with baffles spaced every 6 in. Is this
exchanger satisfactory?

(a) Calculate the length of the tubes. (b) If it is desired to increase the outlet air
temperature by an additional 10°F, what new vapor pressure will be required?
(c) If a new heater were built using steam at the original pressure, what length of
tubes would be needed to heat the air to 170°F instead of 160°F?

tube passes is used to heat water from 20℃, at a rate of 6.2 m/s, the tubes are 16
B.W.G gauge with a diameter 1-in. external The heat is supplied by means of hot
oil (cp=2300 J/kg℃) that enters through the side of the shell at 180℃ at a rate of
15 kg/s. What are the outlet temperatures? What is the length of the exchanger
needed? If fouling is considered, what is the length of the exchanger?

15. A heat exchanger consists of a bank of 1300 thin-walled tubes with air in a
crossflow over the tubes with an average velocity of 12m/s at 300 k and 105 Kpa.
The tubes are arranged in a line of 40 longitudinal rows (along the direction with
air flow) and 30 transverse rows. The tubes have a diameter of 0.07 m and 2.5 m
in length. The hot fluid flowing through the tubes consists of steam at 400 K. The
convection coefficient is much greater than that of air

30,200 kJ/h from refrigerant-134a as it condenses at a temperature of 37°C. Air
(cp=1 005 J/kg · °C) flows from one side of the finned condenser to the other,
entering at 25°C and leaving at 32°C. If the total heat transfer coefficient, based
on the refrigerant side, is 190 W/m2 °C, determine the transfer area of the
refrigerant side
