Log Mean Temperature Difference A tube-in-tube, counterflow heat exchanger carries hot wort at 85C in the inner tube and chilled water at 5C in the outer tube. The tube wall thickness is 4 mm and its thermal conductivity is 100 W/m.K. The wort film coefficient is 750 W/m2.K and the chilled water film coefficient is 3000 W/m2K. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient and the rate of heat transfer per meter of heat exchanger length. Calculate the LMTD.
Fouling Layers of dirt, particles, biological growth, etc. effect resistance to heat transfer We cannot predict fouling factors well Allow for fouling factors when sizing heat transfer equipment Historical information from similar applications Little fouling in water side, more on product
Heat Exchanger Sizing • Beer, dispensed at a rate of 0.03 kg/s, is chilled in an ice bath from 18C to 8C. The beer flows through a stainless steel cooling coil with a 10 mm o.d., 9 mm i.d., and thermal conductivity of 100 W/m.K. The specific heat of the beer is 4.2 kJ/kg.K and the film heat transfer coefficients on the product and coolant sides are 5000 W/m2.K and 800 W/m2.K, respectively. The fouling factors on the product and coolant sides are 0.0008 and 0.00001 m2K/W. Assume that the heat exchanger is thin walled. • Determine the heat transfer rate • Determine the LMTD • Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient • Determine the outside area required • Determine the length of tube required
Heat Losses Total Heat Loss = Convection + Radiation Preventing heat loss, insulation Air – low thermal conductivity Air, good Water – relatively high thermal conductivity Water, bad Vessels/pipes above ambient temperature – open pore structure to allow water vapor out Vessels/pipes below ambient temperature - closed pore structure to avoid condensation
Heat Transfer – Continued Hot wort at 70C is transferred from one tank to another through a 2.0 cm id, 2.5 cm od stainless steel pipe (k = 120 W/m.K). The pipework is 21 m long and the wort has specific heat capacity of 4.0 kJ/kg.K and density of 975 kg/m3. The heat transfer coefficients on the inside and outside of the pipe are 4000 W/m2K and 12 W/m2K and the temperature of the surroundings is 18C. Assume that the pipe’s wall is “thin.” Calculate the rate of heat loss from the pipe and the exit temperature at the end of the pipe. How would adding a 1 cm layer of insulation (k = 0.05 W/m.K) to the outer surface of the pipe affect the exit temperature of the wort. Velocity in the pipe is 1.5 m/s.
Heat Transfer – Continued Previous Problem continued… Our pipe has an external emissivity of 0.7. Calculate the heat loss by radiation and compare it to the heat loss by convection.
