A blood warmer is often used in certain clinical transfusion procedures. While safely storing and preserving blood requires refrigeration, cold blood when used in rapid transfusion procedures could cause clinically dangerous hypothermia in a patient. A new compact and miniature heat exchanger has been proposed that is used “inline” with the transfusion delivery system. It consists of a multi-tube bundle of 5-mm diameter tubes arranged in an equilateral-triangular array with tube centers 7.5 mm apart. Blood flows inside the tubes and is warmed by a heated airstream that is in external cross flow such that the tube surface is maintained at 40°C. The inlet air flow to the tube array is at 70°C with a free stream velocity of 2 m/s, and there are five lateral or transverse rows in the

bundle. Determine the average heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in the airstream. Also, what is the change in both of these quantities if the tube center-to-center pitch is reduced to 6.0 mm? GIVEN Heated air flowing over an equilateral staggered tube bank Air temperatures Tair,in = 70°C Number of tube rows (N) = 5 Tube diameter (D) = 5 mm= 0.005 m Center to center pitch(S) = 7.5 mm=0.0075 m Free stream velocity (Ua) = 2 m/s Tube surface temperature (Tt) = 40°C FIND The average heat transfer coefficient ( h c) and pressure drop in airstream. Change in average heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop when center to center pitch is reduced to 6 mm. ASSUMPTIONS Steady state The correlation of Equation 6.38 can be applied to a pitch-to-diameter ratio of 1.5 Tube wall temperature is uniform and constant
