Chapter , Problem 11.29(choose chapter or problem)
A twin-tube, counterflow heat exchanger operates with balanced flow rates of 0.003 kg/s for the hot and cold airstreams. The cold stream enters at 280 K and must be heated to 340 K using hot air at 360 K. The average pressure of the airstreams is 1 atm and the maximum allowable pressure drop for the cold air is 10 kPa. The tube walls may be assumed to act as fins, each with an efficiency of 100%. (a) Determine the tube diameter D and length L that satisfy the prescribed heat transfer and pressure drop requirements. (b) For the diameter D and length L found in part (a), generate plots of the cold stream outlet temperature, the heat transfer rate, and pressure drop as a function of balanced flow rates in the range from 0.002 to 0.004 kg/s.
