The heat loss from unpainted aluminum side of a house has been calculated on the presumption that overall coefficient of heat transfer is 5 W/m 2 K. Later, it was discovered that the air pollution levels are such that fouling factor on this side is of the order of 0.0005 m2 K/W. Find overall heat transfer coefficient of dirty side

Correct Answer: 4.9875 W/m2 K
R = 1/U DIRTY – 1/U CLEAN.

A single pass shell and tube heat exchanger, consisting of a bundle of 100 tubes (inner diameter 25 mm and thickness 2 mm) is used for heating 28 kg/s of water from 25 degree Celsius to 75 degree Celsius with the help of a steam condensing at atmospheric pressure on the shell side with condensing heat transfer coefficient 5000 W/m2 degree. Make calculation for overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner area. Take fouling factor on the water side to be 0.002 m2 degree/W per tube and neglect effect of fouling factor on the shell side and thermal resistance of the tube wall

A stream of air at 100 kPa pressure and 300 K is flowing on the top surface of a thin flat sheet of solid naphthalene of length 0.2 m with a velocity of 20 m/sec. The other data are: Mass diffusivity of naphthalene vapor in air = 6 * 10 –6 m2/sec Kinematic viscosity of air = 1.5 * 10 –5 m2.sc Concentration of naphthalene at the air-solid naphthalene interface = 1 * 10 – 5 kmol/m3 Calculate the overage mass transfer coefficient over the flat plate. Note: For heat transfer over a flat plate, convective heat transfer coefficient for laminar flow can be calculated by the equation. Nu = 0.664 ReL1/2 Pr1/3 you may use analogy between mass and heat transfer.

A heat exchanger to preheat oil for a furnace was designed without considering the possibility of scale formation, and the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the fuel oil side was 3200 k J/m2 hr degree. What would be the corrected coefficient of heat transfer if a fouling factor of 0.00025 m2 hr degree/k J for the fuel oil is taken into account?

Fouling factor for a heat exchanger is given by (where, U1 = heat transfer co-efficient of dirty surface U2 = heat transfer co-efficient of clean surface)

A copper pipe (k = 350 W/m K) having inner diameter of 1.75 cm and 2.0 cm outside diameter conveys water and the oil flows through the annular passage between this pipe and a steel pipe. On the water side, the film coefficient is 4600 W/m2 K and the fouling factor is 0.00034 m2 K/W. The corresponding values for the oil side are 1200 W/m2 K and 0.00086 m2 K/W. Estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient between the oil and water

The overall heat transfer co-efficient for a shell and tube heat exchanger for clean surfaces is U0 = 400 W/m2.K. The fouling factor after one year of operation is found to be hd0 = 2000 W/m2.K. The overall heat transfer co-efficient at this time is

Which of the following are presumptions as to a negotiable instrument under section 118 of the Negotiable Instruments Act? Answer using given below:
(1) Presumption of contractual capacity
(2) Presumption of consideration
(3) Presumption of maturity of instrument
(4) Presumption of date

Four friends A, B, C and D live in a same locality. The house of B is in the east of A's house but in the north of C's house. The house of C is in the west of D's house. D's house is in which direction of A's house?

Fouling factors increase the overall heat transfer conductance and hence decrease the overall heat transfer coefficient.

After being in service for a period of six months, a heat exchanger transforms 10% less heat than it does what new. Determine the effective fouling factor in terms of its clean overall heat transfer coefficient. It may be presumed that the heat exchanger operates between the same temperature differentials and that there is no change in the effective surface area due to scale build up
