SECTION A: ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION

The total marks for this section are [50 marks]
Section A: Answer all questions

The total marks for this section are [50 marks]
Q1 a)What are the types of heat exchangers according to construction ? [5 marks]

[10 marks]
b)Draw a sketch for the Plate heat exchanger showing the main parts? [5 marks]
Q2 In an oil cooler, oil flow through the heat exchanger with a mass flow
[20 marks] rate of 8 kg/s and inlet temperature of 70oC. Specific heat of oil is
2 kJ/(kg.K). The cooling stream is treated cooling water that has specific
heat capacity of 4.2 kJ/kg.K, flow rate of 20 kg/s, and inlet temperature
of 15oC. Assuming a total heat exchanger surface area of 150 m2 and an
overall heat transfer coefficient of 150 W/(m2.K),calculate :
I) The outlet temperature for two-pass shell-and tube (10marks)
II) The outlet temperature for unmixed cross flow units, . (5marks)
III) Estimate the respective F-correction factor. (5marks)
Q3 City water flowing at 0.5 kg/s will be heated from 20oC to 35oC by hot
[20 marks] treated boiler water at 140oC. A 15oC hot water temperature drop is
allowed. A number of 4.50 m hairpins of 3 in. by 2 in. (schedule 40, see
Table 8.2) double-pipe heat exchangers with annuli and tubes each
connected in series will be used. Hot water flows through the inner tube.
Calculate the heat transfer coefficient in
the tube and in the annulus.

Section B: Answer only two questions

The total marks for this section are 50 marks
Q4 The core of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger contains 60 tubes (single-tube pass)

[25marks] with an inside diameter of 2.5 cm and length of 2 m. The shell inside diameter is
35 cm. The air, which flows through the tubes at a flow rate of 1.5 kg/s, is to be
heated from 100°C to 300°C.
a. Calculate the total pressure drop as the sum of the frictional pressure drop in [15 marks]
the tube and the pressure drop due to acceleration, abrupt contraction
(kc=0.25), and abrupt enlargement (ke=0.37). Is the total pressure drop smaller
than the frictional pressure drop in the tube? Why?
b. Calculate the fan power needed.
[10 marks
Q5 A double pipe heat exchanger is designed as an engine oil cooler. The flow rate
[25 marks] of oil is 5 kg/s and it will be cooled from 60oC to 40oC through annulus (ID =
0.10226 m, OD = 0.1143 m). Sea water flows through the tubes (ID = 0.02664 m,
OD = 0.03340) and is heated from 10oC to 30oC. The number of bare tubes in
the annulus is 3 and the length of the hairpin is 3 m. Assume that the tube wall
temperature is 35oC. Design calculations gave the number of hairpins as 85.
Allowable pressure drop in the heat exchanger for both stream is 20 psi. Is this
design acceptable? Outline your comments
Distilled water at a flow rate of 80,000 kg/h enters an exchanger at 35 oC and

Q6
leaves at 25oC. The heat will be transferred to 140,000 kg/h of raw water
[25 marks] coming from a supply at 20oC. The baffles will be spaced 12 inches apart. Write
]
a computer program to determine the effects of varying tube size and
configuration as well as shell diameter on thermal characteristics, size and fluid
flow characteristics of the shell and tube type of heat exchanger. 1-P, and 2-P,
configurations will be considered. The exchanger data is given
below:
-3/4 ″ OD, 18 BWG tubes on 1 in. square pitch.
-Study on shell diameter of 15 1/ 4 , inch.
Calculate the length of this heat exchanger for clean and fouled surfaces. A
120,000 N/m2 pressure drop may be expended on both streams. Will this heat
exchanger be suitable? For the pumping power assume a pump efficiency of
80%.
