A shell-and-tube heat exchanger uses cooling water in the tubes. There are two pressure gages installed on the the water side to the heat exchanger. Gage 1 (P1) is installed on the inlet water line, which is connected to the lower nozzle, while Gage (P2) is installed on the discharge water line, which is connected to the upper nozzle. Both pressure gages are very near the nozzle flanges. The pressure drop from each pressure gage to the exchanger channel is...

Saturdated water vapor (steam) is commonly used as a heat source in heat exchanger applications. Why saturated vapor? Why saturated water vapor? In a plant of any reasonable size, several varieties of saturated steam are commonly available; for example, saturated steam at 4.5,9,17, and 33 bar. But the higher the pressure the lower the useful energy content (why?), and the greater the unit cost. Why then is higher-pressure steam used?

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...
