Water (cp=4179 J/kg·K) at 30 °C flows on the inside of a steel tube with 25 mm inner diameter and 0.4 mm wall thickness at a flow rate of 0.4 kg/s. The tubes forms inside of a counter flow double pipe heat exchanger. Engine oil at 100 °C flows in the annular space with a flowrate of 0.1 kg/s. The outlet temperature of the oil is 60 °C. The material of the heat exchanger is carbon steel with k=45 W/m·K. The inner diameter of the outer tube is 55 mm. If the length of a hairpin is 5m, calculate the number of hairpins ignoring the fouling resistances.
please can you help me course name heat exchangers.

Air enters the compressor of an ideal cold air-standard Brayton
cycle at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a mass flow rate of 6 kg/s. The
compressor pressure ratio is 10, and the turbine inlet temperature
is 1400 K.
For k = 1.4 and Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg,
calculate:
(a) the percent thermal efficiency of the cycle.
(b) the back work ratio.
(c) the net power developed, in kW

Explain the finite element method for stress analysis as you would to a high school student who is interested in becoming an engineer. Note that this could be the deciding factor for the student to choose Engineering at University. As such keep your answer relevant, interesting and succinct (furthermore, the student is young so they get bored easily...).

Students will design a mutually operating gear system under the conditions given in this question. (Sizing will be done as a result of calculations according to working conditions, material, construction status and strength). In this design, shaft and bearing calculations will not be made. Only mutual gears will be designed according to the data and acceptance. The student will make assumptions for the values and information that are not given and will explain why he made this assumption.
Input Power: 8 Kw
Input Cycle : 1224

A high carbon steel shaft is used in an engine and subjected to
different loads. In order to
analyse the stress in the shaft, consider a rectangular element
within the material. This
element is subjected to compressive stress of 135 MPa and shear
stress of 166MPa in the
vertical direction. The compressive stress in the horizontal
direction is 176MPa with a shear
stress of 115MPa.
a. Sketch the state of stress on this element.
b. Determine the maximum and minimum normal and shear stresses and
their plane of
orientation.
c. If the yield strength of the material is 350MPa, Poison’s ratio
is 0.32, and factor of
safety is 5, determine the diameter of the shaft to avoid
failure.
d. What will be the difference in the analysis above if there is an
additional torsional
load (T) and bending moment (M).
e. Show how you can use any theory of failure to design this
shaft.
f. What are the challenges of applying the theories of failure in
actual engineering
practice and as a design engineer, how would you deal with these
challenges.
