Heat transfer solutions

1. 16.5 kg/s of the product at 650°C (cp = 3.55 kJ/kg°C), in a chemical plant, are to be used to
heat 20.5 kg/s of the incoming fluid from 100°C (cp = 4.2 kJ/kg°C). If the overall heat transfer
coefficient is 0.95 kW/m2°C and the installed heat transfer surface is 44 m2, calculate the
fluid outlet temperatures for the counter-flow and parallel flow arrangements.
2. Calculate the net radiant heat exchange per m2 area for two large parallel plates at
temperatures of 427° C and 27° C respectively. (hot plate) = 0.9 and (cold plate) = 0.6. If a
polished aluminium shield is placed between them, find the percentage reduction in the
heat transfer; (shield) = 0.04. Find equilibrium temperature of the shield.
3. Explain briefly the various regimes of saturated pool boiling.
7.2.2. BOILING REGIMES
The process of boiling depends upon the nature of the surface, thermo-physical properties
of the fluid and vapour bubble dynamics. Due to involvement of large number of variables,
general equa
4. Differentiate between the mechanism of filmwise and dropwise condensation.

Further, the heat transfer from the vapour to the cooling surface takes place through the
film formed on the surface. The heat is transferred from the vapour to the condensate
formed on the surface by ‘convection’ and it is further transferred from the condensate film
to the cooling surface by the ‘conduction’. This combined mode of heat transfer by
conduction and convection reduces the rates of heat transfer considerably (compared with
dropwise condensation). That is the reason that heat transfer rates of filmwise condensation
are lower than dropwise condensation. Fig. 7.6 (i) shows the film condensation on a vertical
plate.
