A heat exchanger is required to heat treated cooling water with a flow rate of 60 kg/s from 10°C to 50°C using the waste heat from water, cooling from 60°C to 20°C with the same flow rate as the cold water. The maximum allowable pressure drop for both streams is 120 kPa. A gasketed-plate heat exchanger with 301 plates having a channel width of 50 cm, a port diameter of 0.15 m and a vertical distance between ports of 1.5 m is proposed and the plate pitch is 0.0035 m with an enlargement factor of 1.25. The spacing between the plates is 0.6 mm. Plates are made of stainless steel (316) (k = 16.5 W/m · K). For a two-pass/ two-pass arrangement, analyze the problem to see if the proposed design is feasible. Could this heat exchanger be smaller or larger?
