TUTORIAL
1. Compare and calculate the values of Qc and QH and select the set of
temperature and flow rates data where calculated values of Q c and QH are
Qc
≈1
close to each other Q H
2. Determine the type of fluid flow in this heat exchanger (Parallel/Counter flow).
Calculate the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) for this shell and tube
heat exchanger.
3. Compute the overall heat exchanger coefficient, U for this heat exchanger if
given
4. How overall heat transfer coefficient U varies with the flow rate of the water?
Note: The Q (total heat load) is approximately equal to the average value
between calculated value Qc and QH)
