1. In paragraph 3; When solving for NTU or ε for counter-flow, what equations must be used when
C* is equal to 1?
𝑁𝑇𝑈 𝜀
Answer: 𝜀= 𝑁𝑇𝑈 =
1−𝑁𝑇𝑈 1−𝜀
2. In paragraph 5; Table 1; using experimental data 1; what is the NTU and effectiveness for the
given conditions. Assume Cp= 1.0
𝑚 𝐶𝑝𝑐 (𝑇𝑐2− 𝑇𝑐1 ) 𝜀
Answer: 𝜀 = (𝑚 𝑁𝑇𝑈 =
𝐶𝑝)min(𝑇ℎ1 −𝑇𝑐1 ) 1−𝜀
2.0×2.0×(78−61) 0.151
𝜀= 𝑁𝑇𝑈 =
3.0×2.0×(136−61) 1−0.151
Answer:
4. In paragraph 3; What equations are used for a parallel pipe heat exchanger?
Answer:
𝐶𝑚𝑖𝑛
𝐶∗ =
𝐶𝑚𝑎𝑥
𝑈𝐴
𝑁𝑇𝑈 =
𝐶𝑚𝑖𝑛
∗
1−𝑒 (−𝑁𝑇𝑈(1+𝐶 )) 1
𝜀= 𝑁𝑇𝑈 = ln[1 − 𝜀(1 + 𝐶 ∗ )]
1+𝐶 ∗ 1+𝐶 ∗
Answer:
To introduce students to CFD in a laboratory course and terminology associated with CFD. To give
insight into basic principals of CFD, recognize the quality of a CFD model by understanding the
concept of validation and realize the benefits of having a validated model. The approach also allows
comparison of experimental results with CFD results and for the students to understand that the
CFD model is a powerful tool in educational process of learning engineering concepts.
