In a Fluidised Bed Heat Exchanger with hot gas flow, at fluidisation the temperature of the bed is ________

Correct Answer: Uniform
Under Fluidisation condition, the pressure drop of the fluid through the pellet-bed remains almost constant, which is independent of the fluid flow rate leading to a strong mixing of the solid particles/ pellets. This results in a uniform temperature for the total bed.

A cold fluid (specific heat 2.95 k J/kg K) at 10 kg/min is to be heated from 25 degree Celsius to 55 degree Celsius in a heat exchanger. The task is accomplished by extracting heat from hot water (specific heat 4.186 k J /kg K) available at mass flow rate 5 kg/min and inlet temperature 85 degree Celsius. Identify the type of arrangement of the heat exchanger

Which of the following statements about Printed circuit heat exchanger are correct? Statement 1: Printed circuit heat exchanger is an example for direct heat exchanger. Statement 2: It has high heat transfer surface area per unit volume of the exchanger.

Concentrated fermentation liquid containing 20% (w/w) gluconic acid from an evaporator has a flow rate of 2000 kg/h and a temperature 90 °C. It needs to be cooled to 6 °C in a heat exchanger with cooling water. The cooling water has a flow rate 2700 kg/h and an initial temperature 2 °C. If the cooling water leaves the heat exchanger at 50 °C, what is the rate of heat loss from gluconic acid solution to the surroundings? Assume the heat capacity of gluconic acid is 0.35 cal/g-°C-1.

A designer chooses the values of fluid flow rates and specific heats in such a manner that the heat capacities of the two fluids are equal. A hot fluid enters the counter flow heat exchanger at 100°C and leaves at 60°C. A cold fluid enters the heat exchanger at 40°C. The mean temperature difference between the two fluids is

A 0.5 m high bed made up of a 1 mm dia glass sphere (density 2500 kg/m3) is to be fluidised by water (density 1000 kg/m3). If at the point of incipient fluidisation, the bed voidage is 40%, the pressure drop across the bed is

Forced air flows over a convection heat exchanger in a room heater, resulting in a convective heat transfer coefficient 1.136 k W/m2 K. The surface temperature of heat exchanger may be considered constant at 65 degree Celsius, and the air is at 20 degree Celsius. Determine the heat exchanger surface area required for 8.8 k W of heating

After expansion from a gas turbine, the hot exhaust gases are used to heat the compressed air from a compressor with the help of a cross flow heat exchanger of 0.8 effectiveness. What is the number of transfer units of the heat exchanger?

Fourier's law of heat conduction is (where Q = Amount of heat flow through the body in unit time, A = Surface area of heat flow, taken at right angles to the direction of heat flow, dT = Temperature difference on the two faces of the body, dx = Thickness of the body, through which the heat flows, taken along the direction of heat flow and k = Thermal conductivity of the body)

Hot water having specific heat 4200 J/kg K flows through a heat exchanger at the rate of 4 kg/min with an inlet temperature of 100 degree Celsius. A cold fluid having a specific heat 2400 J/kg K flows in at a rate of 8 kg/min and with inlet temperature 20 degree Celsius. Make calculations for maximum possible effectiveness if the fluid flow conforms to parallel flow arrangement

Plate type heat exchangers have less surface area as compared to a similar Shell and Tube heat exchanger. A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger of equivalent area weigh six-seven times less than a Plate Type heat exchanger.
