Heat Transfer Problem

The document describes a shell and tube heat exchanger used to cool butyric acid from 82°C to 60°C using water entering at 36°C and leaving at 70°C. It provides specifications for the heat exchanger such as 50 steel pipes that are 2 meters long and 2 inches in diameter. It asks what the dirt factor would be if the hot stream is in the tubes and provides equations to calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient and effectiveness.

Butyric acid is being cooled from 82oC to 60 oC by heat exchange with water entering a shell and tube heat exchanger at 36 oC and leaving at 70oC . The exchanger consists of 50 pipes, 2 meter length fabricated from a 2-in Sch 40 steel pipe. The flow rate of the butyric acid is 10000 kg/hr. What is the dirt factor if the hot stream is placed in the tubes? Assume ho = 2000 and hi = 5000. What setup of a shell and tube heat exchanger will work best?

Assume hdi is controlling. Assume a pipe thickness of 1/8-inch


Given: Do= 2.375 (0.0254) = 0.06033

x = 0.125 (0.0254) =3.175x10-3 Di = 2.125 (0.0254) = 0.0539 ksteel = 45W/m2-K HTE: q = (wCpT)B.A = (wCpT)H2O =UoAoTlm(FT)

For FT :
