Number of tubes in transverse fin heat exchanger Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Tubes = Mass Flow Rate/(Mass Flux(g)*Distance between two Consequent Tubes*Height of Crack)
N = m/(G*TP*h_c)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Number of Tubes - Number of tubes is the total count of the tubes.
Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass flow rate is the mass of a substance that passes per unit of time. Its unit is kilogram per second in SI units.
Mass Flux(g) - (Measured in Kilogram per Second per Square Meter) - Mass flux(g) is defined as the amount of mass transported per unit time across a unit area that is perpendicular to the direction of mass transport.
Distance between two Consequent Tubes - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between two consequent tubes is the centre distance between the two tubes in a heat exchanger.
Height of Crack - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Crack is the size of a flaw or crack in a material that can lead to catastrophic failure under a given stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass Flow Rate: 4 Kilogram per Second --> 4 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Mass Flux(g): 22.8 Kilogram per Second per Square Meter --> 22.8 Kilogram per Second per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Distance between two Consequent Tubes: 0.06 Meter --> 0.06 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of Crack: 12000 Millimeter --> 12 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N = m/(G*TP*h_c) --> 4/(22.8*0.06*12)

Evaluating ... ...

N = 0.243664717348928

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.243664717348928 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.243664717348928 ≈ 0.243665 <-- Number of Tubes

What is Heat exchanger?

A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural-gas processing, and sewage treatment. The classic example of a heat exchanger is found in an internal combustion engine in which a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils, which cools the coolant and heats the incoming air. Another example is the heat sink, which is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant.
