Determine the appropriate size of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with two tube passes and one shell pass to heat 8.82 kg/s of pure ethanol from 15.6 to 60°C. The heating medium is saturated steam at 152 kPa condensing on the outside of the tubes with a condensing coefficient of 15,000 W/(m2K). Each pass of the exchanger has 50 copper tubes with an OD of 1.91 cm and a wall thickness of 0.211 cm. For the sizing, assume the header cross-sectional area per pass is twice the total inside tube cross-sectional area. The ethanol is expected to foul the inside of the tubes with a fouling coefficient of 5678W/(m 2 K). After the size of the heat exchanger, i.e., the length of the tubes, is known, estimate the frictional pressure drop using the inlet loss coefficient of unity. Then estimate the
pumping power required with a pump efficiency of 60% and the pumping cost per year with $0.10 per kw-hr.
