A heat exchanger purchased by Hot Spot Manufacturing cost $24,000. The exchanger will save $4,500 in each of the next 10 years. Hot Spot will use SOYD depreciation over a six-year depreciable life. The declared salvage value is $3,000. It is expected the exchanger will be sold for the declared value. Hot Spot pays taxes at a combined rate of 42% and has a MARR of 8%. Was the purchased justified?

A double pipe heat exchanger is to be designed to cool 5 gal/min of hot oil from 250°F to 120°F using 10 gal/min of cooling water available at 70°F. The heat exchanger is to consist of sections of 0.75 inch 16 BWG copper tubing inside 1.5 inch 16 BWG tubing; the water flows in the annular space. The shell-side heat transfer coefficient for this system is known to be 737 Btu/hr×ft2×°F. a) Estimate the required length of the countercurrent exchanger,...

The purchased cost of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger (floating-head and carbon-steel tubes) with 100 m2 of heating surface was $4500 in 1990. What will be the 1990 purchased cost of a similar heat exchanger with 20 m2 of heating surface if the purchased cost capacity expo- nent is 0.60 for surface areas ranging from 10 to 40 m2? If the purchased cost capacity expo- nent for this type of exchanger is 0.81 for surface areas ranging from 40 to 200...

Hot exhaust gases, which enter a tube heat exchanger with cross-flow fins (both unmixed fluids) at 1.5 kg/s and 250 oC, are used to heat pressurized water at a speed of 1.0 kg/s and 35 oC. The specific heat of the exhaust gas is 1.0 kJ/kg K, and the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the surface area of the gas side is Uh = 100 22 W/m K and Ah = 40 m . Calculate heat transfer for heat...

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger heats oil from 2°C to 35°C using hot water. The oil flows in the shell in a single pass. Water flows in 5 copper tubes with a total (all tubes) rate of 0.5 kg/s. Each tube makes 4 passes through the shell and the length per pass is 4 m. The tube inner and outer diameters are 15 mm and 19 mm. The water enters at 95°C and leaves at 29°C. 1. Estimate the average convection...
