4.(a)Water at the rate of (68 Kg/min) is heated from (35 to 75) ⁰C by an oil having a specific heat of
(1.9 KJ/Kg. ⁰C), the fluids are used counter flow double pipe heat exchanger and the oil enters the
exchanger at (110 ⁰C) and leave at (75 ⁰C), the overall heat transfer coefficient is (320 w/m2. ⁰C).
Calculate the heat transfer area? (10 marks)
(b)Consider a sheet of glass 3.6 cm thick. Its surface temperature rises by 20⁰C/min. Plot the
temperature - time history over the first 5 minutes and calculate the heat transferred to the glass in
this time. For glass, assume: a = 0.3x10-6 m2/s, r = 2700 kg/m3, Cp = 0,837 kJ/kg.⁰C. Take a = 6 mm
and assume the starting temperature = 40⁰C. (10 marks)
5.(a) Hot air at 100 oC is used to heat air in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The oil makes six (6)
tube passes and the air makes one shell pass; 2.0 kg/s of air are to be heated from 20oC to 80oC. The
specific heat of the oil is 2100 J/kg. oC with flow rate of 3.0 kg/s. Determine the area required for
the heat exchanger if U = 200 W/m2. oC. (14 marks)
(b) A steel slab 2.54 cm thick is initially at a uniform temperature of 650⁰C.
It is cooled by quenching in water, which may be assumed to reduce the
surface temperature suddenly to 93.5⁰C. Derive a numerical method to
deal with this case by dividing the slide into eight slices. The heat flow
may be assumed to be normal to the sides of the slab. Use the method to
determine the time required to reduce the center temperature to 450⁰C.
For steel take the thermal diffusivity = 0.00000116m/s
