Correction Factor For Complex H.E (F) : T AUF Q

This document discusses heat exchangers and heat transfer. It addresses correction factors used for more complex heat exchangers, provides example calculations for determining the required heat exchanger area for parallel and countercurrent flow, and discusses fouling factors. Fouling factors account for additional thermal resistance from deposits on heat exchanger surfaces, reducing performance over time. The document provides examples of calculations incorporating fouling factors into determining the overall heat transfer coefficient.

Correction Factor for Complex H.E (F)


For more complex H.E. such as those involving multiple tubes, several shell passes or cross
flow, determination of the LMTD is so difficult, thus the heat-transfer equation then takes the
form
q  AUFTLM
F the correction factor.

a) condensation or boiling (evaporation)


F 1 For 
b) counter flow double - pipe heat exchanger

The values of correction factor can be found in Figures 10.8 to 10.11, for one two, two four,
cross flow (both fluid unmixed) and cross flow (one fluid mixed and the other unmixed),
respectively.

Example: In a food pressing plate a brine solution is heated from 6°C to 12°C in a double
pipe H.E. by water interring at 50°C and leaving at 40°C at the rate of 0.166kg/s, if the overall
heat transfer coefficient is 850 W/m2.K. What heat exchanger area is required for a) parallel
or co-current flow, b) counter current flow?

Solution:

a) Co-Current flow

T1  50  6  44
T2  40  12  28
q  AUFTLM  A  q/UFTLM

Cp for water is 4.18 kJ/kg.K.

 A  0.228m2

Example: a brine solution is heated from 6°C to 30°C in a one shell pass (hot water) two
tubes pass (brine) H.E. the hot water inters at 55°C and exists at 40°C. the water flow rate is
0.25kg/s and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 900 W/m2.K. What heat exchanger area is
required?

Solution:

T1  55  30  25
T2  40  6  34
34  25

from Figure 10.8, P  0.49, R  0.625  F  0.92

Fouling Factors
When deposits are present on the inside and outside surface of tubes, the thermal resistance
will increase resulting in decreased performance. This added resistance is accounted by a
fouling factor or a fouling resistance Rf, which must be included along with the other thermal
resistances making up the overall heat-transfer coefficient.

An abbreviated list of recommended values of the fouling factor for various fluids is given in
Table 10-2.

Example 10.3 about fouling factor.

The effects of fouling factors on both the inner and the outer surfaces of the tube should be
taken into accounts. For un unfinned shell and tube H.E. the overall H.T. coefficient can be
expressed as
