PS = 172.4 kPa
To determine the boiling point T1 of the 50% concentrated solution, we first obtain the
boiling point of pure water at 11.7 kPa: 48.9°C
From the Dühring chart, for a boiling point of water of 48.9°C and 50% NaOH, the
boiling point of the solution is T1 = 89.5°C
➔boiling-point rise = T1 –48.9 = 89.5 – 48.9 = 40.6°C
Calculation methods for single-effect evaporators
a. Amounts of vapor and liquid products = ?
F, xF and xL are known, and therefore L = 1814 kg/h and V = 2722 kg/h
For the saturated steam at 172.4 kPa, the saturation temperature from the steam
tables is 115.6°C and λ = latent heat of vaporization of water is 2214 kJ/kg.
Therefore S = 7204940 / 2214 kg/h = 3255 kg steam /h
Refrigeration systems
▪ Refrigeration cycle
Refrigerators and heat pumps
• Heat flows in the direction of decreasing temperature: from
high-temperature regions to low-temperature ones. This
heat-transfer process occurs in nature without requiring any
devices.
• The transfer of heat from a low-temperature region to a
high-temperature one requires special devices called
refrigerators.
• Refrigerators are cyclic devices, and the working fluids
used in the refrigeration cycles are called refrigerants.
• In Fig. 11–1a, QL is the magnitude of the heat removed
from the refrigerated space at temperature TL, QH is the
magnitude of the heat rejected to the warm space at
temperature TH, and Wnet,in is the net work input to the
refrigerator.
• Refrigerators and heat pumps are essentially the same
devices; they differ in their objectives only.
• The objective of a refrigerator is to maintain the refrigerated
space at a low temperature by removing heat from it.
• The objective of a heat pump, however, is to maintain a
heated space at a high temperature.

where U is the overall heat transfer coefficient, As is the heat transfer surface

Here DT1 and DT2 represent the temperature difference between the two
fluids at the two ends (inlet and outlet) of the heat exchanger. It makes no

Log mean temperature difference method (LMTD method)
❖ Double-pipe heat exchangers
• The outer surfaces of heat exchangers are well-insulated and the heat transfer to
the surrounding environment is very small. It is assumed that this heat transfer is
negligible and that the total amount of heat leaving the hot fluid is gained by the
cold fluid. There are three equations for q, which can be used to solve problems by
the LMTD method:
• For the heat leaving the hot fluid, we have: 𝒒 = 𝒎ሶ 𝒉𝒄𝒑𝒉 (𝑻𝒉,𝒊𝒏 − 𝑻𝒉,𝒐𝒖𝒕 )
• For the heat gained by the cold fluid, we have: 𝒒 = 𝒎ሶ 𝒄𝒄𝒑𝒄 (𝑻𝒄,𝒐𝒖𝒕 − 𝑻𝒄,𝒊𝒏 )
• and the equation with the overall heat transfer coefficient U and the LMTD is:
q=UAsDTlm

❖ Double-pipe heat exchangers
❑ Heat capacity rate: the rate of heat transfer needed to change the temperature of
the fluid stream by 1°C as it flows through a heat exchanger.
❖ If a heat exchanger other than the double-pipe type is used, the heat transfer is
calculated by using a correction factor applied to the LMTD for a counterflow
double-pipe arrangement with the same hot and cold fluid temperatures.
q = U.A.F.DTlm

q = U.A.F.DTlm
❑ When a phase change is involved, as in condensation or boiling (evaporation), the
fluid normally remains at essentially constant temperature and the relations are
simplified. For this condition, P or R becomes zero and we obtain F=1
The determination of qmax requires the availability of the inlet temperature of the hot and
cold fluids and their mass flow rates, which are usually specified. Then, once the
effectiveness of the heat exchanger is known, the actual heat transfer rate can be
determined:

• Again Cmin is the smaller heat capacity rate and Cmax is the larger one, and it
makes no difference whether Cmin belongs to the hot or cold fluid.
• Effectiveness relations of the heat exchangers typically involve the
dimensionless group UAs/Cmin. This quantity is called the number of
transfer units NTU

Example 6.4
Water at the rate of 68 kg/min is heated from 35 to 75◦C by an oil having a specific
heat of 1.9 kJ/kg · ◦C. The fluids are used in a counterflow double-pipe heat
exchanger, and the oil enters the exchanger at 110◦C and leaves at 75◦C. The
overall heat-transfer coefficient is 320 W/m2 · ◦C.
Calculate the heat-exchanger area.
The total heat transfer is determined from the energy absorbed by the water:
q = 𝒎ሶ 𝒄𝒄𝒑𝒄 (𝑻𝒄,𝒐𝒖𝒕 − 𝑻𝒄,𝒊𝒏 ) = (68)(4180)(75 − 35) = 11.37 MJ/min = 189.5 kW
