Engineering Student Heat Exchanger Tasks

The document provides problem statements for designing double pipe heat exchangers for 11 groups. For each group, it gives the flow rates and inlet/outlet temperatures of the fluids to be cooled/heated using a double pipe heat exchanger. The design must meet maximum temperature changes and pressure drops specified. A suitable hairpin tube arrangement is to be selected from Kern's Process Heat Transfer appendix.

Problem Statement for Double Pipe Heat Exchanger
for group number 1 to 10

In a marine application, x kg/s of engine oil is to be cooled from Tin °C to Tout °C using
seawater available at 30°C. The maximum allowable temperature rise for seawater may be
taken as 12-15°C. Typical fouling resistance is 0.00018 m 2·K/W for engine oil and 0.0001
m2·K/W for water and the maximum allowable pressure drop is 65 kPa (≈10 psig) for
water and 80 kPa (≈ 15 psig) for oil.

x = flow rate = group number for groups 1 to 10.

Tin and Tout for the corresponding value of x are given in the next slide.

Design a double-pipe heat exchanger by deciding on a suitable hairpin arrangement.


The thermal conductivity of the exchanger material (steel/iron) is 52 W/m·K.

for group number 11 to 21

Z kg/hr of 570API gasoline is cooled from Tin °C to Tout °C by heating 420API


kerosene from 30 °C to 45 °C. The allowable pressure drop is 0.7 bar for both tube and
shell sides. A minimum dirt factor of 0.004 m2·K/W may be assumed.

Design a suitable double-pipe heat exchanger (with hairpin arrangement) and present
the drawings in a form that can be sent to the fabricator.

You may refer to the Appendix of Process Heat Transfer by Kern for data on thermo-
physical properties and select alloy steel as the material of construction
