State the assumptions clearly and support your answer with a suitable process flow diagram. Develop the model equations of a double pipe heat exchanger where in the resistance to heat transfer from a condensing fluid to inner fluid can be represented by convective heat transfer coefficients on both sides of the heat transfer wall. Assume that resistance from wall is negligible, but the wall has finite heat capacity. Consider a plug flow tubular reactor in which the temperature changes as the fluid flows down the pipe. Assume no radial gradients in velocity, concentration or temperature. The reactor has a cooling jacket around it. Heat can be transferred from the process fluid reactants and products at temperature T to the metal wall of the reactor at temperature Tm. The heat is subsequently transferred to the cooling water. Derive model equations for this system, (OR) ‘A first order irreversible exothermic reaction A> B occurs in a series of three perfectly mixed CSTRS.
