Design of HE

A heat exchanger is needed to heat 4450 kg/h of benzene from 300K to 322K using hot toluene cooled from 344K to 311K. The specific gravities and a fouling factor are provided. The number of 6m hairpin tubes needed is to be calculated. The effectiveness-NTU method is introduced to analyze heat exchangers when outlet temperatures are unknown. Effectiveness is defined as the ratio of actual heat transfer to maximum possible heat transfer. A heat exchanger is used to cool 250kg/h of hot liquid at 393K to an unknown outlet temperature, using 1000kg/h of water at 283K as the coolant. The heat transfer rate,

Heat Exchangers Design

It is desired to heat 4450 Kg/h of cold benzene


from 300 K to 322 K using hot toluene which is
cooled from 344 K to 311 K. The specific
gravities of benzene and toluene are 0.88 and
0.87 respectively. A fouling factor of 1.60 X 10-4
m2 K/W should be provided for each stream. A
number of 6 m hairpins of 50 by 31.75 mm IPS
pipe are available. How many hairpins are
required?
Effectiveness – NTU method of HTA
• Effectiveness – NTU method is used when the
temperatures of the fluids leaving the exchanger
are not known.
• This method is based on the effectiveness of a
heat exchanger in transferring a given amount of
heat.
• For obtaining an expression for the heat transfer
rate without involving any of the outlet
temperatures, let us introduce the term
effectiveness.
It is required to cool 250 Kg/h of hot liquid
with inlet temperature of 393 K using a
parallel flow arrangement. 1000 Kg/h of
cooling water is available for cooling
purpose at a temperature 283 K. Calculate
the outlet temperatures of the hot liquid
and water and the effectiveness of the
heat exchanger if the overall heat transfer
coefficient is 1160 W/m2 K and the heat
transfer surface of the exchanger is 0.25
m2.
A double-pipe heat exchanger is constructed of a copper (k =
380 W/m · °C) inner tube of internal diameter Di = 1.2 cm and
external diameter Do = 1.6 cm and an outer tube of diameter
3.0 cm. The convection heat transfer coefficient is reported to
be hi = 700 W/m2 · °C on the inner surface of the tube and ho =
1400 W/m2 · °C on its outer surface. For a fouling factor Rf, i =
0.0005 m2 · °C/W on the tube side and Rf, o = 0.0002 m2 ·
°C/W on the shell side, determine (a) the thermal resistance
of the heat exchanger per unit length and (b) the overall heat
transfer coefficients Ui and Uo based on the inner and outer
surface areas of the tube, respectively.
