Aniline is to be cooled from 200 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit in a double-pipe heat exchanger having a total outside are
For cooling a stream of toluene amounting to 8600 lb/h at a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit is available.
The exchanger consists of Schedule 40 ,1 and ¼ inches pipe and Schedule 40,2-inches pipe. The aniline flow rate is10
if flow is countercurrent, what are the toluene outlet temperature, the LMTD and the overall heat transfer coefficient?
Cp of Aniline=0.545 BTU/lb-°F and Cp for toluene= 0.438 BTU/lb-°F.

A simple U-tube manometer is installed across an orifice meter. The manometer is filled with
mercury( specific gravity= 13.6), and the liquid above the mercury is carbon tetrachloride
(specific gravity of 1.6). The manometer reads 200mm. What is the pressure difference over the mano

Solution:

Pa-Pb= (g/gc)Rm (ρA-ρB)
