SEM M.Tech Note: Answer any one question. Q1) 6900 lb/hr of 260 API lubricating oil must be cooled from 4500-3500F by 72500 lb/hr of 340 API midcontinent crude oil. The crude will be heated from 3000-3100 F. A fouling factor of 0.003 should be provided for each stream and allowable pressure drop on each stream will be 10 psi. A number of 20 ft hair fins of 3/2 IPS are available how many must be used and how shall they be arranged the viscosities are 1.4 centipoises at 500 F for lubricating oil 3.08 4000 F and 7.7 at 3000 F. (25 Marks) OR 1,75,000 lb/hr of distilled water enters an exchanger at 930 F and leaves at 850 F. The heat will be transferred to 2,80,000 lb/hr of raw water supplied at 750 F and leave the exchanger at 800 F at 10 psi pressure drop may be expected on both the streams while Rd= 0.0005 for the distilled water and 0.0015 for raw water. When the tube velocity exceeds 6FPS available for this service is a 15.25 ID exchanger having 160 3.25 OD 18BWG 16 ft long tubes laid out on 15/16 triangular pitch. The bundle is arranged for 2 passes and baffles are spaced 12 apart will the exchanger be suitable? (25 Marks) Q2) It is desired to heat 9820lb/hr of cold benzene from 80 to 120 F using toluene cool from 160 to 100 F. A fouling factor and pressure drop of 0.001 and 10 psi should be provided on each stream. A number of 20 feet hair pins of 2 by 1 in IPS available how many hair pin is required. (25 marks) OR 43800 lb/hr of 42 API kerosene leaves distilling column at 390 F and cooled to 200 F by 149000 lb/hr of 34 API midcontinent crude coming from a storage at 100 F and heated to 170 F. A fouling factor and pressure drop of 0.003 and 10 psi should be provided on each stream. Available for this service is 21 inch inner diameter exchanger having 158 1 inch OD, 13 BWG tubes 16 inch long and laid out on 1 inch sq pitch. The bundle is arranged for 4 passes and baffles are spaced 5 inch apart, will the exchanger suitable. (25 marks) Date: Time: 1 hour

Q1) a)A cooling operation consist of passing 50,000 lb/hr of bone dry gas over trays of hot material from whose surface oxygen must be excluded. The gas is heated from 200 to 300 F and emerges with a dew point of 120 F. It then goes to cooler where it is cooled back to 200 F and heated from 85 to 120 F. A pressure drop of 2 inch of water is permissible. How many diffusion units must the tower be capable of performing to fulfill process requirement. (35 marks) b) What is cooling tower explain any two types of cooling towers with detail classifications. (15 marks)

Q1) A plant is being laid out in a restricted water locality. The total heat to be removed by the cooling tower is 26000,000 BTU/ hr. The locality has 5% WBT of 75o F The water will leave tower with 10 approach to WBT. Being water of ordinary mineral content it will emerge from equipment at 120 F. A tower 24X 24 Feet has been erected with a fan capacity of 187,000 CFM. How many diffusion units must the tower be capable of performing to fulfill process requirement. (50 marks)
