fresh water

Cooling or evaporation of fresh water from the sea surface makes surface water dense. This causes the surface water to undergo downwelling.

Here's a precise problem for a chemistry student to solve related to designing a heat exchanger for a specific process:A chemical plant produces a product with a flow rate of 500 liters per hour, and it needs to be cooled from its initial temperature of 120°C to its final temperature of 80°C before it can be packaged for shipment. The cooling medium that will be used is water, which is available at a flow rate of 400 liters per hour and an initial temperature of 20°C. Design a heat exchanger to cool the product and determine the required surface area of the heat exchanger if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 500 W/m2K.

Design a heat exchanger for a chemical process that involves cooling 1000 kg of a liquid from 80°C to 40°C using water as the cooling fluid. The process flow rate is 5 kg/min and the maximum allowable pressure drop in the heat exchanger is 5 kPa. Assume a heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W/m²K for the liquid and 5000 W/m²K for the water. Design the heat exchanger to occupy a maximum area of 20 m². What is the surface area of the heat exchanger required and what would be the optimal flow configuration?

Design a heat exchanger to cool down a mixture of water and ethylene glycol from 80°C to 20°C using cooling water from a nearby lake that enters at 15°C. The mixture flow rate is 10 L/min, and the desired outlet temperature is 20°C. The heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger is 250 W/(m².K) and the overall heat transfer coefficient is to be assumed as 350 W/(m².K). The heat capacity of the mixture is 3.8 kJ/(kg.K) and the density is 1030 kg/m³. Determine: a) the surface area of the heat exchanger required for this process,b) the volume flow rate of cooling water required, and c) the overall heat transfer rate in kW.
