Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a heat exchanger for an industrial process requiring an outlet temperature of 85Β°C from a hot fluid entering at 100Β°C, with a cold fluid at 30Β°C needing to exit at 50Β°C. Calculate LMTD, and estimate the heat transfer rate if the area is 25 mΒ² with an overall coefficient of 150 W/mΒ²K.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Ensure calculations for LMTD consider both temperature differentials.

Question 2

A refrigeration system aims to maximize heat transfer efficiency. If the system can achieve a maximum heat transfer of 120000 W, yet only 90000 W is effectively transferred, determine effectiveness and the implications for further design improvements.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What challenges could slow down ideal efficiency?
