Two engineers are having an argument about the efficiency of a tube-side multipass heat exchanger compared to a similar exchanger with a single tube-side pass. Smith claims that for a given number of tubes and rate of heat transfer, more area is required in a two-pass exchanger than in a one-pass, because the effective temperature difference is less. Jones, on the other hand, claims that because the tube-side velocity and hence coefficient is higher, less area is required in a two-pass exchanger. With the conditions given below, which engineer is correct? Which case would you recommend, or what changes in the exchanger would you recommend?

Exchanger specifications
– 200 tube passes total
– 1 in.-O.D copper tubes, 16 B.W.G.
Tube-side fluid
Water entering at 16°C, leaving at 28°C, with a rate of 225,000 kg/h.
Shell-side fluid
Mobiltherm 600, entering at 50°C, leaving at 33°C.
Shell side coefficient = 1700 W/(m2 K)
GIVEN
• Tube and shell heat exchanger - water in tubes, Mobiltherm 600 in shell
• Number of tube passes (Np) = 200
• Tubes are 1 in copper 16 B.W.G.
• Water flow rate m w= 225,000 kg/h = 62.5 kg/s
• Water temperatures
? Tw,in = 16°C
? Tw,out = 28°
• Mobiltherm temperatures
? Tm,in = 50°C
? Tm,out = 33°C
• Shell side heat transfer coefficient h o= 1700 W/(m2 K)
FIND
• Which required less transfer area: (a) single tube pass (b) Two tube passes?
ASSUMPTIONS
• Thermal resistance of copper tube wall is negligible
