PROBLEM 3 (45 points) The condenser of a large steam power plant is a heat exchanger in which steam is condensed to liquid water. Assume the condenser to be a parallel flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger consisting of a single shell and 1x10 tubes, each executing two passes. The inner diameter of tubes is D = 50 mm and its thickness is 5 mm (Do not ignore the thickness). The steam condenses on their outer surface. Thermal conductivity of the tube...
The condenser of a large steam power plant is a heat exchanger in which steam is condensed to liquid water. Assume the condenser to be a shell-and-tube heat exchanger consisting of a single shell and 30,000 tubes, each executing two passes (see figure below). The tubes are of thin wall construction with D=25mm, and steam condenses on their outer surface with an associated convection coefficient ho=11,000W/ m K The heat transfer rate that must be effected by the heat exchanger...
Problem 2: Heat exchanger (25 points) Cold water (op 4179 J/kg K) enters the tubes of a heat exchanger at 20 °C at a rate of 3 kgs. while hot oil (cp 2200 J/kg.K) enters the shell at 130 C at the same mass flow rate and leaves at 60°C The heat exchanger consistsoftwo shells and 20 tubes, each executing four passes (two passes per shell). If the W/m2-K, assume the tube wall is very thin with convective heat transfer...

Problem 3 (60 Points). A 1-2 shell-and-tube heat exchanger must be designed to heat 2.5 kg/s of water from 15 to 85°C. The heating is to be accomplished by passing hot engine oil at a rate of 5.2 kg/s, which is available at 160°C, through the shell side of the exchanger. The oil is known to provide an average convection coefficient of 400 W/m2K on the outside of the tubes. Ten tubes passes the water through the shell....
