0.53 3. 320,000 lb/h of oil (32 API, Kw - 12.0) will be cooled from 260 °F to 130 F using treated water from a cooling tower with a range of 80 °F to 120 °F. For each stream, the inlet pressure will be 50 psia and a maximum pressure drop of 12 psi is specified. A fouling factor of 0.002 h-f2"F/Btu is required for the oil stream, which is not corrosive. Properties of the oil are given below. Please identify the data source for cooling water properties. Oil Property Value at 1957 C (Heu/lom" (tuhft" (p) (bm/ti") 1 (0) -0.00168 ep 14230 WTO) (a) Develop an initial configuration for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger to meet this service. Use plain (un-finned) tubes. (b) Perform the rating calculations for the initial configuration obtained in part (a). 0.068 50.5 58.8
(c) Based on the results of the rating calculations in part (b), specify what changes, if any, should be made to the configuration of the heat exchanger for the next trial. (d) Obtain a final design for the heat exchanger.
