Q2 a) How fouling is dealt while designing heat exchangers.
b) A counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger is to heat the cold fluid from 30C to 65C at a rate of 2 kg/s. The heath ig is to be accomplished by
hot fluid available at 100C at a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. Specific heat of the hot fluid is
10kJ/kgK and that of the cold fluid is 5 kJ /kgK. If the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m2 C, determine the length of
the heat exchanger required to achieve the desired heating.

b) What would be the effectiveness of counter flow heat exchanger if Cmin/Cmax = 0 and Cmin/Cmax=1
Q6. The condenser of a large steam power plant is a heat exchanger in which stem is condensed to liquid water. Assume the condenser to be a shelland-tube heat exchanger consisting of a single shell and 30,000 tubes, each executing two passes. The tubes are of thin wall construction with D=25
mm, and steam condenses on their outer surface with an associated convection coefficient of h0=11,000 W/m.K the heat transfer rate that must be
effected by the exchanger is q=210^9 W , and this is accomplished by passing cooling water through the tubes at a rate of 310^4 kg/sec. the water
enters at 20C while the steam condenses at 50 degree C. What is the temperature of the cooling water emerging from the condenser? What is the
required tube length L per pass?

Q5. Design a counter flow, concentric tube heat exchanger to use water for cooling hot engine oil from an industrial power station.
The mass flow rate of the oil is given as 0.2 kg/s, and its inlet temperature is 90C. water is available at 20C but its temperature rise is
restricted to 12.5C because of environmental concerns. The outer tube diameter must be less than 5 cm, and the inner tube diameter
must be greater than 5 cm due to constrains arising from space and piping considerations The engine oil must be cooled to a
temperature below 50C. Obtain an acceptable design if the length of the heat exchanger must not exceed 200 m. Cp (in J/kgK), (in
kg/sm) , and k (W/mK) for oil and water are 2100,0.03,0.15 and 4179, 8.5510^-4, 0.613 respectively. Assume the thickness of the
