What is the effect on the outlet temperatures in both the hot and cold streams, when the surface area (length and diameter) is reduced?
a- the outlet temperature of the cold stream decreases and the outlet temperature of the hot stream increases.

The right answer is option A: The outlet temperature of the cold stream decreases and the outlet temperature of the hot stream increases.

Explanation:

In a heat exchanger, when the exchange area is reduced, and at the same condition for the rest of the variables, the amount of heat exchanged by the two fluids is reduced.

In the case of the hot fluid, it will rise at a higher temperature, compared to the temperature at which it would come out with a larger exchange area.

In the case of the hot fluid, it will come out at a lower temperature, compared to the temperature at which it would come out with a larger exchange area.

The correct answer is option A.

Answer from: daniecott

a- The outlet temperature of the cold stream decreases and the outlet temperature of the hot stream increases.

Explanation:

Hello,

In heat transfer processes, specific units such as heat exchangers are useful to either heat up a cold stream with a hot one or vise-versa. However, the heat transfer efficiency increases as surface area increases, it means that the higher the surface area the higher the heat exchanger's efficiency, therefore, if the surface area is reduced, the efficiency is reduced as well, due to the lack of more space for the heat transfer.

In such a way, the outer temperature of the cold fluid will be lower (less heating up) and the outer one of the hot fluid will be higher (less cooling down), thus, the outlet temperature of the cold stream decreases and the outlet temperature of the hot stream increases (a option).

Best regards.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
