solution :

Tube side fluid = water

Inlet temp. T1 = 30 c

Outlet temp. T2 = 40 c

Mass flow rate Mwt = 4 kg/s

Cp of water = 4.2 KJ/kg*c

Heat required to increased the temp. of tube side fluid = Mwt * Cp* (T2-T1)

                           

Q= 4*4.2*(40-30)

Q = 168 KJ/s

Shell side fluid = water

Inlet temp. (t1) = 90 c

Outlet temp. (t2) =??

Mass flowrate Mws = 2 KG/s

Heat supplied by shell side fluid = 168 kJ/s

Q= Mws * Cp * (t1-t2)

168 = 2 * 4.2 * (90- t2)

So     t2 = 70 C

for a 1-2 STHE ;

effective (corrected) temperature driving force =

effective (corrected) temperature driving force =

FOR LMTD CORRECTION FACTOR :

USING THE VALUE OF R AND S;

WE FIND LMTD CORRECTION FACTOR = 0.98

ACTUAL LMTD = FT * TEMP. DRIVING FORCE = 0.98 * 43.28 = 42.55 C

the effective (corrected) temperature driving force in deg C = 42 C

2)  

U =  1390 W/m2-K

Q = U*A * the effective (corrected) temperature driving force in deg C

168 KJ /S = (1.390 KJ/S*M^2*K) * A * 42

A = 2.88 M^2

The tubes are 1.875 in = 0.047625 M diameter (inside) and require an average velocity of 0.375 m/s.

DENSITY OF WATER 1000 KG/M^3

VISCOSITY OF WATER = 8.90* 10 ^4 KG/M*S

REYNOLD NO. =

REYNOLD NO   = 20066

SO

SO AS PER STANDARD TABLE

FOR 1 SHELL 2 TUBE PASSES ;

NO. OF TUBES =20

3)

SO ACTUAL AREA REQUIRED = 20 * AREA OF 1 TUBE

= 20* ( 2.88 /12 )

= 4.8 M^2

4) LENGTH OF TUBE :

AREA = nt * 3.14 * D * L

4.8 = 20 * 3.14 * 0.047625 * L

L = 1.60 M
