Calculate the heat-removal factor for a collector having an overall heat loss coefficient of 10 W/m2 K and constructed of copper fins and tubes (k = 390 W/m?K). Tube-to-tube center distance is 12 cm, fin thickness is 0.05 cm, tube diameter is 1.5 cm, and fluid-tube heat transfer coefficient is 1000 W/m2K. The cover transmittance to solar radiation is 0.8 and is independent of direction. The solar absorptance of the absorber plate is 0.9, the collector is 1 m wide and 2 m long, and the water flow rate is 0.03 kg/s. The water temperature is 330 K.

A two-pass shell and tube heat exchanger has an overall conductance of 450 W/m2 oC when used as a condenser for a large air conditioning system. Refrigerant R-134a enters thecondenser at 20 kg/ s as a saturated vapor at 70oC and leaves as a saturated liquid. If cooling water enters at a rate of 60 L/s, 10oC, determine the outlet temperature of the cooling water and the effective area of the condenser.

Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) in a heat exchanger that uses steam to heat water to the point of vaporization (in vacuum.)

Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient (U) in a heat exchanger that uses steam to heat water to the point of vaporization (in vacuum.) The system is non-insulated, so the heat lost to the surroundings must be taken into consideration. While I know that the heat Q = mCdT and the heat transfer rate q = UAdT(Log-mean), I am struggling to equate the two due to the heat lost to the surroundings. How do I go about determining the overall...
