Zahurul Haq (BUET) Heat Exchangers: Rating & Performance Parameters ME 307 (2017) 2 / 35 Maximum Heat Transfer Rate, q max If the inlet & outlet temperatures of the hot & cold fluid, and the overall heat transfer coefficients are specified, the LMDT method can be used to solve rating and sizing problem (e.g. process, power and petrochemical industries). If only the inlet temperatures and fluid (hor & cold) flow rates are given LMDT estimation requires cumbersome iterations. ǫ-ntu method is generally performed for the design of compact heat exchangers for automotive, aircraft, air conditioning, and various industrial applications where the inlet temperatures of the hot and cold fluids are specified and the heat transfer rates are to be determined. Maximum HT could be achieved in counter-flow HE with x. If C c < C h : T c > T h, COLD fluid have T max. If x T c,o = T h,i q max = C c (T h,i T c,i ) If C c > C h : T c < T h, HOT fluid have T max. If x T h,o = T c,i q max = C h (T h,i T c,i ) = = q max = C min (T h,i T c,i ) = C min T max Effectiveness, ǫ q q max = C h(t h,i T h,o ) C min (T h,i T c,i ) or C c(t c,o T c,i ) C min (T h,i T c,i ) Dr. Md.

The value of capacity ratio, C r ranges between 0 and 1.0. For a given NTU, ǫ max for C r = 0, and ǫ min for C r = 1.0. C r = C min /C max 0 corresponds to C max, which is realized during a phase-change process in a condenser or boiler. Hence, ǫ = ǫ max = 1 exp( NTU) T792 T713 Dr. Md. Zahurul Haq (BUET) Heat Exchangers: Rating & Performance Parameters ME 307 (2017) 9 / 35 Effectiveness is lowest for C r = C min /C max = 1, when heat rates of two fluids are the same.

Steam (5.2 kg/s, c = 1.86 kj/kg o C) blows across the outside of the tube, enters at 130 o C and leaves at 110 o C. U o = 275 W/m 2 o C. Calculate A. Holman Ex. 10-4 In a counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger, water at the rate of 68 kg/min is heated from 35 to 75 o C by an oil having a specific heat of 1.9 kj/kg o C. Oil enters the exchanger at 110 o C and leaves at 75 o C. Given that, U o = 320 W/m 2o C. Estimate heat transfer area, A. 15.82 m 2. Holman Ex. 10-9 Investigate the heat-transfer performance of the exchanger in Ex. 10-7 if the oil flow rate is reduced in half while the steam flow remains the same. Assume U remains constant at 275 W/m 2o C. Holman Ex. 10-10 The heat exchanger of Ex. 10-4 is used for heating water. Using the same entering-fluid temperatures, calculate the exit water temperature when only 40 kg/min of water is heated but the same quantity of oil is used. Also calculate the total heat transfer under these new conditions. Dr. Md. Zahurul Haq (BUET) Heat Exchangers: Rating & Performance Parameters ME 307 (2017) 11 / 35 Dr. Md.

HTX: Behaviour as C r 0 Cengel Ex. 11-8 The overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m 2 K. Using the effectiveness-ntu method determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve the desired heating. T707 The effect of the heat exchanger configuration on its performance is related to the interaction between the temperature changes of the two fluid streams. The limit of C r 0 is approached in many practical heat exchangers; e.g., the interaction of a flowing fluid with a constant temperature solid (as in a cold-plate) or a well-mixed tank of fluid or the situation that occurs when one of the two streams is undergoing constant pressure evaporation or condensation.

For all configurations, lim ǫ = 1 exp( NTU) C r 0 HTX: Behaviour as NTU 0 If NTU is small, heat exchanger is under-sized & rate of heat transfer is not sufficient to change the temperature of either fluid substantially.
