7.4) 43,800 lb/hr of 42 API kerosene between 390 and 200F is used to heat 149,000 lb/hr of
34 API Mid-continent crude from 100 to 170F in a 662-ft
2
exchanger (Example 7.3). The clean
coefficient is 69.3 Btu/(hr)(ft
2
)(F).
a) When the 1-2 exchanger is clean, what outlet temperatures will be obtained?
b) Calculate the outlet temperatures directly from F
T
.
c) How does the total heat load compare with that which could be delivered by a true
counterflow exchanger assuming that the same U could be obtained?

Jawaban:
a) As we know, dirt factor equation is:

.
If the 1-2 heat exchanger is clean, it means dirt factor (R
d
) value is equal to zero. When the dirt
factor is equal to zero, value of U
d
(Design Overall Coefficient) will be equal with U
c
(Clean
Overall Coefficient). From calculations have been done before, we obtained value of U
c
is 69.3
Btu/(hr)(ft
2
)(
o
F). It means U
d
is also equal to 69.3 Btu/(hr)(ft
2
)(
o
F). We know equation to
calculate U
d
is:

As we know the value of Q and A are 5.1x10
6
Btu/hr and 662 ft
2
respectively, we will get new
value of t as followed.

New value of t is lower than the old value of t (the old value of t= 138
o
F). Lower value of
t showed that to decrease temperature of hot fluid from 390
o
F to 200
o
F, we dont need cold
fluid with high temperature difference. It also means that the heat transfer from hot fluid to cold
fluid will be more efficient if the dirt factor value is lower. To prove this, we do trial and error to
he value of T
2
until the value of t is 111.17F. And the result is to get the most similar value of
t, (~111.17F), the value of T
2
is 160F. It is proven that the heat transfer from hot fluid to cold
fluid will be more efficient if the dirt factor value is lower. Furthermore, the hot fluid
temperature can get lower than before with the same temperature decrease on cold fluid.

b) F
T
is the fractional ratio of true temperature difference to LMTD. ) To calculate F
T

1-2 exchanger is a combination of counterflow and parallel flow. It means that 1-2 exchanger
have better performance than counterflow exchanger. This is proved by the result of the equation
above, ratio of

, which is

. From this result, we can see that

(1-2 exchanger)
is bigger than
