    Heat Exchanger Sample Problems


    1. A shell and tube heat exchanger specifications are given below.
    Specification Hot Stream (Shell Side) Cold Stream (Tube Side)
    Stream Ethanol Water
    Flowrate (kg/h) 100 1000
    Inlet Temperature (°C) 150 25
    Inlet Pressure (bar) 3 2.5
    Pressure Drop (bar) 0.1 0.2
    Outlet Temperature (°C) X 40
    Determine the value of X, LMTD, UA and Duty of the heat exchanger. Use NRTL fluid package for the
    chemical system.
    2. Water at 25 °C and 1 bar, is pumped to a heat exchanger at 5 bar. The flowrate of water is 2000 kg/h. An
    equimolar mixture of benzene and toluene at 1 bar is also pumped to the heat exchanger at 5 bar. The mixture
    flowrate is 1000 kg/h.
    Specification Cold Stream (Shell Side) Hot Stream (Tube Side)
    Stream Water Mixture
    Pressure Drop (bar) 0.2 0.2
    Outlet Temperature (°C) X 600
    Determine the value of X.
    Hint: Vapor fraction is zero for the mixture at pump inlet.
    3. Hot water at 250 °C and 1000 psig is used to heat a stream of water in a shell and tube heat exchanger. The
    inlet temperature and pressure of the cold stream is 25 °C and 130 psig respectively. The outlet temperatures
    of the cold and hot streams are 150 °C and 190 °C respectively. If the flow rate of the hot stream is 100 kg/h,
    determine the flowrate of the cold stream passing through the heat exchanger. Use SRK as fluid package.
    Hint: Consider the pressure drops of the shell and tube sides to be zero. Hot water flows through shell side.
    Fired Heater Sample Problems
    4. A fired heater is used to heat a stream of natural gases (ethane, propane, i-butane and n-butane with equal
    compositions). The feed stream is at 25 °C and 101.3 kPa fed at 50 kg-mole/h. The product requires to be at
    1000 °C temperature. 5% excess atmospheric air is fed to the unit for combustion. Determine the flare
    temperature. The fire heater has an efficiency of 85%. Pure methane at 800 °C, 101.3 kPa is used as fuel. Use
    Peng-Robinson Fluid Package for simulation.
    5. A fired heater is used to heat a feed gas stream composed of equal mole fractions of methane, propane, n-
    butane and n-octane. The feed stream enters the heater at 20 °C and 150 kPa, with a flow rate of 80 kg-
    mole/h. The target outlet temperature of the feed gas is 900 °C. For combustion, 10% excess atmospheric air
    is supplied to the heater. The heater operates with an efficiency of 82%. The fuel used is pure ethane, supplied
    at 900 °C and 101.3 kPa. Determine the outlet temperature of the flue gases (flare temperature), total amount
    of fuel (ethane) required for the process and estimate the heater duty and the total energy supplied by the
    fuel.
    Hint: Use atmospheric conditions for air input.
