Thanks SteamKing, I missed that. I thought it was probably an editing problem.
So, then my result for a simple pipe was 30 times too high. If I read the rest correctly.
Probably because of the very high flow rate through such a small pipe. More pipes with a slower flow rate each might give...
Thanks for the link. Although I have to admit, I think it's going over my head.
If I go by this (listed in the table, no idea if it's comparable)
2.824E+3 kg/hr
6,894757 bar
47 liters/second
689,475,700,000 pascals (or are they using commas and periods inconsistently?)
117,357,565,957 Pa...
I tried a longer pipe:
12.73 m pipe
3,393,894.38 Pa drop
0.3999247448 m^2 area
1,599,698.976 Joules transferred
to 8 liters
47.99096928 degrees
That's enough heat transfer to reduce nearly boiling water to nearly freezing, and increase nearly freezing water to nearly boiling (which is just...
Thanks for the reply, Geezer ChE,
That's an idea, it would be an extremely long tube though; I'm not sure if it will get me within the right order of magnitude (maybe? At least it probably couldn't be worse in real life so I'd have a conservative estimate). Unless Laminar flow monkeys with...
Hi, I hope this is the right section.
I'm trying to figure out a rough estimate of the pressure drop in a spiral heat exchanger. The fluids both being water.
My guess it it would be in terms of the surface area of the inside of the heat exchanger, and the flow rate, but I can't seem to nail...
