Three main types of heat exchangers:
In recuperative heat exchangers, the heat is
transferred from one fluid to the other through
a dividing wall.
In regenerative heat exchangers, heat is
transferred via a moving solid part, (a rotating
wheel with a large number of narrow channels).
In evaporative heat exchangers, hot water is
cooled by partly evaporating the water.

Double pipe exchanger.

• In this type, the hot and cold fluid streams do not

come into direct contact with each other. They are
separated by a tube wall or flat plate.

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 19

 Overall heat transfer coefficient
Q = UA (Δ T)
Q is the heat flow rate in W,
A is the heat flow area
ΔT is the temperature difference between the fluids

The resistances are:

(i) Convection resistance on the inner surface of the tube for heat flow from
fluid to wall. (1/hiAi)
(ii) The resistance due to deposits that will form during operation on the inside
of the tube called inside fouling resistance-Rfi.
(iii) The resistance due to heat conduction through the solid wall separating the
fluids.
(iv) The resistance due to deposits that will form during operation on the
outside of the tube called outside fouling resistance-Rfo.
(v) Convection resistance on the outer surface for heat flow from wall to the
fluid (1/hoAo).
2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 20
 Overall heat transfer coefficient
- In tube flow the inside area will be different from the
outside area. → two values are possible for the area and
consequently two values are possible for the overall heat
transfer coefficient.
These are:
Ui—overall heat transfer coefficient based on inside area
Uo—overall heat transfer coefficient based on outside area.
The relationship between these two is given by: UiAi = UoAo
Q = UiAiΔT = UoAoΔT. In the case of plane wall Ui = Uo
The total resistances is given by

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 31

 Crossflow
A third basic type of flow is crossflow.
The temperatures of both fluids at the outlets are different from
one side to the other of the flow channel.
In most heat exchangers, the flow is neither purely parallel,
counterflow or crossflow, but rather a mixture of these types.
The logarithmic mean temperature difference may still be used, if
corrected by factor F.: q = U⋅A⋅F⋅(LMTD)

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 32

Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD method
Water flowing at a rate of 0.723 kg/s enters the inside of a countercurrent, double-pipe
heat exchanger at 300K and is heated by an oil stream that enters at 485K at a rate of
3.2kg/s. The heat capacity of the oil is 1.89 kJ/kg K, and the average heat capacity of
water over the temperature range of interest is 4.192 kJ/kg K. The overall heat-transfer
coefficient of the exchanger is 300 W/m2 K, and the area for heat transfer is 15.4 m2.
What is the total amount of heat transferred if the temperature of water come out is
380K

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 33

Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD method
An exhaust pipe, 75 mm outside diameter, is cooled by surrounding it by an
annular space containing water.
The hot gases enters the exhaust pipe at 350oC, gas flow rate being 200 kg/h,
mean specific heat capacity at constant pressure 1.13 kJ/kg K, and comes out at
100oC.
Water enters from the mains at 25oC, flow rate 1400 kg/h, mean specific heat
capacity 4.19 kJ/kg K.
The heat transfer coefficient for gases and water may be taken as 0.3 and 1.5
kW/m2 K and pipe thickness may be taken as negligible.
Calculate the required pipe length for (i) parallel flow, and for (ii) counter flow.

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 34

 Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD method
Solution:
. . .
Q = mc cc (Tc,out – Tc,in) = mh ch (Th,in – Th,out)

(1400 kg/hr) (4.19 kJ/kg K) (Tc,out – 25)oC

= (200 kg/hr) (1.13 kJ/kg K) (350 – 100)oC

The temperature of water at the outlet = Tc,out = 34.63oC.

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 35

 Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD method
Solution continued:

(i) Parallel flow:

ΔTa = 350 – 25 = 325oC

ΔTb = 100 – 34.63 = 65.37oC

ΔTa - ΔTb 325 – 65.37

ΔTLM = = = 162oC
ln(ΔTa / ΔTb) ln(325 / 65.37)

.
Q = U A ΔTLM = (UA) 162oC

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet

What is UA?36
 Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD method
Solution continued:

1/U = 1/hwater + 1/hgases

= 1/1.5 + 1/0.3 = 4 (kW/m2 K)-1

Therefore, U = 0.25 kW/m2 K

A = π (outer diameter) (L) = π (0.075 m) (L m)

.
Q = (UA) 162oC = (0.25) π (0.075) L (162) kW

.
What is Q?
2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 37
 Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD method

Solution continued:

. . .
Q = mc cc (Tc,out – Tc,in) = mh ch (Th,in – Th,out)
= (200 kg/h) (1.13 kJ/kg K) (350 – 100)oC = 15.69 kW

Substituting the above in

.
Q = (UA) 162oC = (0.25) π (0.075) L (162) kW

we get
L = 1.64 m
2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet 38
 Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD method
Solution continued:
(ii) Counter flow:

ΔTa = 350 – 34.63 = 315.37oC

ΔTb = 100 – 25 = 75oC

ΔTa - ΔTb 315.37 – 75

ΔTLM = = = 167.35oC
ln(ΔTa / ΔTb) ln(315.37 / 75)

.
Q = U A ΔTLM = (UA) 167.35oC

.
Q = 15.69 kW; U = 0.25 kW/m2 K ; A = π (0.075) L m2

2/2/2020 Lecturer: Dr. Tran Tan Viet Therefore, L = 1.59 39m

 Pure double pipe
Assumptions:
• No phase change and negligible heat losses
• Pure double pipe: parallel flow / counter
flow
• Constant specific heats 𝑐ℎ , 𝑐𝑐
• Constant overall heat transfer coefficient 𝑈
The ∆𝑇𝐿𝑀𝑇𝐷 for counter flow is higher than that one for
parallel flow, hence the area is smaller for given heat load 𝑄

water over the temperature range of interest is 4.192 𝑘𝐽Τ𝑘𝑔𝐾. The
overall heat transfer coefficient of the exchanger is 300 𝑊 Τ𝑚2 𝐾, and
the area for heat transfer is 15.4𝑚2 . What is the total amount of heat
transferred if the temperature of water come out is 380𝐾.
