Tercer examen parcial de Turbomquinas y Equipos Trmicos
El examen slo es en equipo. NO se permite intercambio de comunicacin entre otros
equipos, de hacer esto, los integrantes de los equipos involucrados se hacen acreedores
a reprobar el curso completo. Cada equipo tiene 24 horas para resolver el examen. Se
debe entregar el procedimiento (ecuaciones) seguido para la solucin de cada problema
en archivo de texto (Word, Latex, etc.), de igual forma, las ecuaciones deben estar escritas en el editor del archivo
de texto (no en imgenes). Para cada problema se debe entregar al menos un archivo de MATLAB.m en el cual
se resuelva cada problema. Una vez terminado el examen, los equipos deben ponerse de acuerdo de cules
problemas expondr cada uno en clase (slo se permite comunicacin entre equipos para esto).
Nota 1: todas las hojas proporcionadas fsicamente por el equipo deben llevar el nombre y firma de los
integrantes, de lo contrario, las hojas no se considerarn como parte del examen.
Duracin: 24 horas.

6. - A light fuel oil is used in the tube side of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with two shell passes and four tube
passes. Water is heated in the shell side from 10 C to 50 C while the oil is cooled from 90 C to 60 C. The
overall heat-transfer coefficient is 53 W/m2 C. The specific heat of the oil is 2.0 kJ/kg C. Using both the
effectiveness and LMTD methods, calculate the area of the heat exchanger for a total energy transfer of 500 kW.

7. - Hot air for a large-scale drying operation is to be produced by routing the air over a tube bank (unmixed),
while products of combustion are routed through the tubes. The surface area of the cross-flow heat exchanger is
25 , and for the proposed operating conditions, the manufacturer specifies an overall heat transfer
coefficient of U = 35 W/m2 K. The air and the combustion gases may each be assumed to have a specific heat of

8. - A cross-flow heat exchanger used in a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure cools blood flowing at 5 liter/min
from a body temperature of 37 C to 25 C in order to induce body hypothermia, which reduces metabolic and
oxygen requirements. The coolant is ice water at 0 C, and its flow rate is adjusted to provide an outlet
temperature of 15 C. The heat exchanger operates with both fluids unmixed, and the overall heat transfer
coefficient is 750 W/m2 K. The density and specific heat of the blood are 1050 kg/m3 and 3740 J/kg K,
respectively.
a) Determine the heat transfer rate for the exchanger.
b) Calculate the water flow rate.
c) What is the surface area of the heat exchanger?
d) Calculate and plot the blood and water outlet temperatures as a function of the water flow rate for the
range 2 to 4 liter/min, assuming all other parameters remain unchanged. Comment on how the changes
in the outlet temperatures are affected by changes in the water flow rate. Explain this behavior and why
it is an advantage for this application.
