Condenser Compressor An ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle is modified to include a counter-flow heat exchanger as shown. Refrigerant 134a leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at 0.10 MPa and is heated at constant pressure to 20°C before entering the compressor. Following isentropic compression to 1.4 MPa, the refrigerant passes through the condenser and exits at 45°C and 1.4 MPa. The liquid then passes through the heat exchanger and enters the expansion valve at 1.4 MPa. The mass flow rate of...
Twenty [kw] of heat is to be removed from 375 [k] water flowing at 0.15 [kg/s] into the inner pipe of concentric tube heat exchanger. Cooling water enters the annulus at 290 [k] and leaves at 320 [k] with a flow in the opposite direction of the inner flow. The diameter of the thin- walled inner pipe is 2.5 [cm] a) b) c) Calculate the exit temperature of the hot fluid and the mass flow rate of the cold fluid...
A concentric tube, parallel heat exchanger is used to warm cold well water running on the inside pipe from 10°C to 25°C overa meter of pipe using steam running through the outside pipe that enters the system at 140°C and leaves at 100°C. The inside pipe is made of copper and has an inner diameter of 4 cm, with a wall thickness of 0.25 cm. The outside pipe is made of a very-well insulating material, has a diameter of 7...
(40 pts) Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger to make Jell-O Cups A counter-current shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to heat Jell-O solution (water + gelatin) using saturated steam on the shell side. Jell-O solution must be heated to at least 80 oC, poured into individual plastic cups, and then cooled to make the solid Jell-O cups. The Jell-O solution is heated with steam that enters the shell at 2.0 bar (Tsteam = 120oC) and exits as a saturated liquid. At this temperature...
A portion of an ammonia (NH) refrigeration cycle is shown in the figure below. Two streams enter a mixing chamber with one exit stream. One stream with mass flow rate my firsts enters a heat exchanger at Ti= 30 °C (state 1), is cooled to 15 °C (state 2) and then enters the mixer. The rate of heat transfer from the water side of the heat exchanger, Q7, is 100 kJ/s. The second stream with mass flow rate na -2...
a shell and tube heat exchanger is required to heat brine for a
food processing plant. Hot waste water from another part of the
plant is available at 90°C and a flow rate of 0.7kg/s to perform
the heating duty. An existing heat exchanger is available that has
twoshell passesand 4 tube passes. Each tube pass has a total length
of 20m and the tubes are found to be thin walled copper with a
nominal diameter of 25mm.
The brine...
4. A Cross-Flow Air-to-Water Heat Exchanger with an effectiveness of 0.58 is used to heat water, entering at 20°C at a rate of 4 kg/s, using hot air, entering at 127oC at a rate of 10 kg/s. The Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient for the Heat exchanger is 275 W/m'K. Assuming both fluids are unmixed, determine; (i) The Heat Capacity rates for both the air and the water (ii) The heat transfer surface area. ii) The exit temperature of the water...

A concentric-pipe parallel-flow heat exchanger is to heat water (cp = 4.18 kJ/kg.K) from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.2 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water (Cp =4.31 kJ/kg.K) available at 160°C at a mass flow rate of 2.0 kg/s. The inner pipe is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. If the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m2.K, determine the length of the pipe required to achieve...
A shell and tube heat exchanger with one shell pass and two tube passes is used to heat 8.82 kg/s of fluid from 15.6 °C to 60 °C by using saturated steam at 150 kPa. The steam is condensing on the outside of the tubes with h= 15 kW/m2.K. There are 50 tubes with an outside diameter of 1.91 cm and a wall thickness of 0.211 cm. If the fouling coefficient on the inside of the tubes is 5678 W/m2.K,...
