    Objectives:
    To Study the performance of liquid to liquid ,counter flow heat exchanger with multi
    .pass

    Abstract:
    The objective of this experiment is to study the function and the working of shell and tube
    heat exchanger. Calculations on the heat transfer and heat loss were carried out for
    energy balance study. LMTD and heat transfer coefficient also calculated for this
    experiment. From the data collected, we found out that configuration of Shell and Tube
    heat exchanger in counter current flow has a higher effectiveness than the co-current
    flow.
    Classifications of Heat Exchanger:
    There are three primary classifications of heat exchangers according to their flow
    arrangement. In parallel-flow heat exchangers (Fig 1), the two fluids enter the exchanger
    at the same end, and travel in parallel to one another to the other side.
    In counter-flow heat exchangers (Fig 3) the fluids enter the exchanger from opposite
    ends. The counter current design is the most efficient, in that it can transfer the most heat
    from the heat (transfer) medium per unit mass due to the fact that the average temperature
    difference along any unit length is higher. In a cross-flow heat exchanger, the fluids
    travel roughly perpendicular to one another through the exchanger.

    Apparatus:
    The bench; the hot water unit comprises a 156 liter, insulated tank fitted with three 3 kW
    electric immersion heaters. The hot water supply temperature is selected and controlled by
    a manually operated thermostat, while a fixed thermostatic safety control ensures that the
    temperature cannot exceed 80 oC.
    Chilled water is produced in a 93 liters, insulated tank containing a cooling coil on which
    an “ice bank” can be formed. Refrigeration is obtained from ahermetically sealed
    condensing unit which a capacity of up to 5kW.The refrigerant employed being Freon 22.
    Two motor driven pumps circulate up to 50 liters/minute of hot and chilled water
    respectively through Series 1000 Rotameters to the self - sealingsockets supplying. the
    experiments. A direct tank return valve in the hot water circuit returns the surplus flow
    from the pump directly to the tank thus ensuring turbulence and promoting uniform water
    temperature.
    The instrumentation includes a differential pressure gauge. There are six temperature
    measuring pockets incorporated in each of the exchangers detailed later. Plug-in hoses
    are provided to connect the experiment and the differential water pressure gauge.

    Calculations:
    To Calculate qh for trial 1:
    qh =mo *Cp*T
    q = 0.00833*4180*10.6 = 369.08 W

    To find U:
    qh =U A Tm A=2*10-2 m2
    369.08W = U *A * 26.71
    U= 690.9 (W/m2.oC)

    To Calculate qc for trial 1:


    qc = mo *Cp*T
    qc = 0.03333 *4180* 2.8 = 390 W

    To find U:
    qc =U A Tm
    Same as the hot side., where A = 2*10-2 m2:
    U = 836 / (2*10-2 * 26.71) = 730.06 (W/m2.oC)

    DTm=(DT1 -DT2 )/ln(DT1 /DT2 )=(30.8-23)/ln(30.8/23)=26.71


    Uavg=(Uc+Uh )/2= 758.6135+ 730.0244 = 710.48

    Discussion & Conclusion:
     It can be seen from the results we had that the heat transfer coefficient increases as
    we increase the mass flow rate of the hot input.
     The log-mean-temperature-difference decreases as the mass flow rate of hot input
    increases.
     From graphs as we can see when we increase the flow rate the heat flow rate
    increases.
     Also we can see that the efficiency of the heat exchanger is not 100% cause of heat
    loss the heat exchanger.
     When we calculate the heat flow from the hot side it doesn’t equal to heat gain from
    the cold side.
     The water flow rate in the hot side will transfer heat to the cold side, where
    theoretically heat rejected by hot side equals heat gained by the cold side.
     Increasing the mass flow rate will increase q on both sides as shown in the figures.U
    will also increase with the increase of mass flow rate.
     From the equation Q=mc*ΔT that not all of heat lost from the hot fluid is
    transmitted to cold fluid .
    Sources of Error:
     Error in estimating the mass flow rate because the rotameter curve was not given.
     Error in temperature due to the use of non-digital thermometer.
     Error due to not reaching the steady state.
