Did I do this right?? all places where i put "**" are the places i did calculations or made assumptions. the rest i found online.
here are my specs for a heat exchanger:
surface area: 2.4sq ft
capacity: 240k Btu/hr
flow capacity: 24 gpm
shell pipe ID: 1"
tube pipe ID: 3/4"
overall size...
i am attempting to build a heat treat oven and i am have some difficulties.
i am looking at it to be 13"^3 that can reach 1800 F. i found that Kanthal wire that can go up to 2300ish F, but it says not to use it in an area greater than 12."
should i need to worry about this?
and is there a...
asking a simplified question from the one yesterday. hopefully, if somebody can answer this, then i will be closer to answering the harder one, and this one does apply to my system.
if this is not easier, i guess there is no hope for me :(
lets assume
in my heat exchanger i will have 50 PSI of...
this question is in addition to my previous one. i am really trying to understand heat transfer and after much research that has not helped me, your help would be greatly appreciated.
so lets say 1,000,000 BTU/hr are being transferred from a liquid to a solid.
1. how does flow rate affect...
Something does not appear right with my following calculations. I am trying to determine how many BTUs will be transferred in on hour through a material and I am getting a huge number. I understand as "delta T" decreases so will the number of BTUs transferred, but in its initial state, this...
