Thanks DVD and Latexman,
It's more of an indirect heat transfer problem. It's a jacket type tank with USP water inside (stationary)at 125 deg and 15 GPM water at 60 deg circulating thru the jacket, I'm assuming 3/4" tubing thru the jacket since that's the connection size on the outside of the...
no, it's not homework, and I did search the website as best as possible to find a solution. This website was recommended several times. If you have a simple calculation, I would appreciate it.
I'm looking for a simple calculation to help me figure out the time it takes to cool a solution in a tank to a certain temperature.
For example, I have a 100 gallon tank of 125 deg F USP water and want to cool it to 70 deg using 15 GPM water at 60 deg F and 15 GPM. How long would this take?
