Tutorial 2
1. Calculate the LMTD for counterflow in the following cases in which the hot fluid is cooled from
300 to 100 °F and the cold fluid, heated through an equal range in each case, is (a) 90 to 140 °F,
(b) 80 to 180 °F, and (c) 60 to 110 °F. Observe the nature of the deviation of the LMTD from the
arithmetical mean of the two terminal differences in each case?
2. A hot fluid is cooled from 245 to 225 °F in each case. Compare the advantages of counterflow
over parallel flow in the size of the LMTD when a cold fluid is to be heated from (a) 135 to 220 °F,
(b) 125 to 210 °F, and (c) 50 to 185 °F.
3. A 40°API kerosene is cooled from 400 to 200 °F by heating 34°API crude oil from 100 to 200 °F.
Between what calorie temperatures is the heat transferred, and how do these deviate from the
mean?
