First Internal Question Paper

This document appears to be an exam for a heat transfer equipment design course. It contains 4 questions related to heat exchangers: 1) Which of two identical counterflow heat exchangers, except one is twice as long, will have higher effectiveness; 2) Compare the limitations of the LMTD method to the effectiveness-NTU method; 3) Derive the LMTD equation for a parallel flow heat exchanger; and 4) Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient for a double pipe counterflow heat exchanger given fluid properties and flow rates. The exam is worth a total of 20 marks.

M.Tech II Semester First Internal Examination

03ME 6022 Design of Heat Transfer Equipments


Time: 1Hr Marks: 20

1. Consider two double pipe counterflow heat exchangers that are identical except that one is twice
as long as the other one. Which of the exchangers is more likely to have a higher effectiveness?

(2marks)

2. What is the limitation of the LMTD Method? How is effectiveness-NTU method superior to
correction factor-LMTD method? (2marks)

3. Derive LMTD equation for a Parallel flow Heat Exchanger. (6marks)

4. In a double –pipe counter flow heat exchanger the inner tube has a diameter of 20 mm and very
little thickness. The inner diameter of the tube is 30 mm. Water flows through the inner tube at a
rate of 0.5 kg/s, and oil flows through the shell at a rate of 0.8 kg/s. Take the average temperature
of the water and the oil as 47°C and 80°C, respectively and assume fully developed flow.
Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient. Given water at 47°C, ρ = 989 kg/m 3, k = 0.637
W/mK, ν = 0.59 x 10-6 m2/s and Pr = 3.79. For oil at 80°C, ρ = 852 kg/m3, k = 0.138 W/mK, ν =
37.5 x 10-6 m2/s and Pr = 490. (10 marks)
