A copper pipe (k = 350 W/m K) having inner diameter of 1.75 cm and 2.0 cm outside diameter conveys water and the oil flows through the annular passage between this pipe and a steel pipe. On the water side, the film coefficient is 4600 W/m2 K and the fouling factor is 0.00034 m2 K/W. The corresponding values for the oil side are 1200 W/m2 K and 0.00086 m2 K/W. Estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient between the oil and water |
A. | 235.16 W/m2 K |
B. | 335.16 W/m2 K |
C. | 435.16 W/m2 K |
D. | 535.16 W/m2 K |
Answer» D. 535.16 W/m2 K | |

A heat exchanger to preheat oil for a furnace was designed without considering the possibility of scale formation, and the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the fuel oil side was 3200 k J/m2 hr degree. What would be the corrected coefficient of heat transfer if a fouling factor of 0.00025 m2 hr degree/k J for the fuel oil is taken into account? |
A. | 1777.78 k J/m2 hr degree |
B. | 1666.78 k J/m2 hr degree |
C. | 1555.78 k J/m2 hr degree |

In a counter flow heat exchanger, water flowing through a tube of 10 cm inner diameter is heated by steam condensing on the outside of the tube. The convective film coefficient on the water and steam side are estimated to be 12000 and 20000 k J/m2 hr degree. Neglecting tube thickness and its resistance to heat flow, workout the overall heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger |
A. | 4500 k J/m2 hr degree |
B. | 5500 k J/m2 hr degree |
C. | 6500 k J/m2 hr degree |
D. | 7500 k J/m2 hr degree |
Answer» E. | |

The heat loss from unpainted aluminum side of a house has been calculated on the presumption that overall coefficient of heat transfer is 5 W/m 2 K. Later, it was discovered that the air pollution levels are such that fouling factor on this side is of the order of 0.0005 m2 K/W. Find overall heat transfer coefficient of dirty side |
A. | 2.9875 W/m2 K |
B. | 3.9875 W/m2 K |
C. | 4.9875 W/m2 K |
D. | 5.9875 W/m2 K |
Answer» D. 5.9875 W/m2 K | |
