Outer Diameter of Tube in Transverse Fin Heat Exchanger Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Outer Diameter = Bare Area/(pi*(Height of Crack-Number of Fins*Thickness))
d_o = AB/(pi*(h_c-NF*t))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Outer Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - The Outer Diameter is the diameter of outer edge of circular hollow shaft.
Bare Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Bare area of fin over the fin leaving fin base.
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.
Number of Fins - The Number of Fins is the total count of the fins in length L.
Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - The Thickness refers to the distance through an object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bare Area: 0.32 Square Meter --> 0.32 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Height of Crack: 12000 Millimeter --> 12 Meter (Check conversion here)
Number of Fins: 8 --> No Conversion Required
Thickness: 1.2 Meter --> 1.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_o = AB/(pi*(h_c-NF*t)) --> 0.32/(pi*(12-8*1.2))

Evaluating ... ...

d_o = 0.0424413181578388

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0424413181578388 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0424413181578388 ≈ 0.042441 Meter <-- Outer Diameter

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.
