Assume the water for a boiler is preheated using flue gases from the boiler stack. The flue gases are available at a rate of 0.25 kg/s at 150°C, with a specific heat of 1000 J/kg · K. The water entering the exchanger at 15°C at the rate of 0.05 kg/s is to be heated to 90°C. The heat exchanger is to be of the type with one shell pass and four tube passes. The water flows inside the tubes, which are made of copper (2.5 cm ID, 3.0 cm OD). The heat transfer coefficient on the gas side is 115 W/m2 · K, while the heat transfer coefficient on the water side is 1150 W/m2 · K. A scale on the water side and gas side offer an additional total thermal resistance of 0.000176 m2 · K/W. a. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outer tube diameter. b. Determine the appropriate mean temperature difference for the heat exchanger. c. Estimate the required total tube length. d. Calculate the percent over surface design and the cleanliness factor.

  (a) Dry saturated steam at a temperature of 180ºC is to be produced in a fire tube boiler from the cooling of 50 000 kg h–1 of flue gases from a pressurised combustion process. The gases enter the tubes of the boiler at 1600ºC and leave at 200ºC. The feed water is externally preheated to 180ºC before entering the boiler. The mean specific heat capacity of the flue gases is 1.15 kJ kg–1 K–1. The latent heat of vaporisation...

Exhaust gases from a manufacturing plant are being discharged through a 10-m-tall exhaust stack with outer diameter of 1.2 m. The exhaust gases are discharged at a rate of 1.2 kg/s, while temperature drop between inlet and exit of the exhaust stack is 30°C, and the constant pressure specific heat of the exhaust gasses is 1600 J/kg·K. On a particular day, wind at 27°C is blowing across the exhaust stack with a velocity of 10 m/s, while the outer surface...

In the boiler of a power plant are tubes through which water flows as it is brought from 0.8 MPa, 150°C to 240°C at essentially constant pressure. The total mass flow rate of the water is 100 kg/s. Combustion gases passing over the tubes cool from 1067 to 277 °C at essentially constant pressure. The combustion gases can be modeled as air as an ideal gas. There is no significant heat transfer from the boiler to its surroundings. Assuming steady...
