11. Example
• Water flowing at 0.02 kg/s is heated from 20 to 60 C
in a horizontal pipe (D = 2.5 cm). Inside T = 90 C.
Estimate h if the pipe is 1 m long.
– Average T = (20+60)/2 = 40 C
– = 992.2 kg/m3, cp = 4.175 kJ/kg C
– k = 0.633 W/m C, = 658.026 x 10-6 Pa.s
– NPr = cp/k = 4.3, w is at 90 C

29. Example
• A liquid food (Cp = 4.0 kJ/kgC) flows in inner pipe
of heat exchanger. The food enters at 20 C and exits
at 60 C. Flow rate = 0.5 kg/s. Hot water at 90 C enters
and flows countercurrently at 1 kg/s. Average Cp of
water is 4.18 kJ/kgC.
– Calculate exit temp of water
– Calculate log-mean temperature difference
– If U = 2000 W/m2C and Di = 5 cm calculate L.
– Repeat calculations for parallel flow.
