diameter of pipes was noted and standard thickness of schedule 40 pipes was
subtracted to get inner diameter of the pipes. The inner pipe is called a ½ inch pipe
and outer pipe is 1½ inch designation. The data for pipes can be obtained from

Reynolds Number has been calculated by formula 23. The Reynolds number for MKS
is very close to that of FPS this shows precision in calculation. The precision is lost
because of recursive conversions and propagation of error.
Reynolds Number is greater than 2100 showing that the flow is turbulent in both inner
and outer tubes so that equation

Verification:
1 m2K/W = 5.678 263 (h ft2 °F)/Btu (from conversion factor 13)
The value of RD FPS calculated by converting the value of RD MKS is found to be:
RD CONVERTED = 0.1069 x 5.678 263 = 0.6070 (h ft2 °F)/Btu which is very close to the
value of RD calculated [0.6068 (h ft2 °F)/Btu]. This shows that the calculation in the
experiment has been consistent.

AI, AO, AIS, De were calculated by formulae 13, 14, 15, 16 respectively. The outer
diameter of pipes was noted and standard thickness of schedule 40 pipes was
subtracted to get inner diameter of the pipes. The inner pipe is called a ½ inch pipe
and outer pipe is 1½ inch designation. The data for pipes can be obtained from

Reynolds Number has been calculated by formula 23. The Reynolds number for MKS
is very close to that of FPS this shows precision in calculation. The precision is lost
because of recursive conversions and propagation of error.
Reynolds Number is greater than 2100 showing that the flow is turbulent in both inner
and outer tubes so that equation

Verification:

The value of RD FPS calculated by converting the value of RD MKS is found to be:
RD CONVERTED = 0.4274 x 5.678 263 = 2.4268 (h ft2 °F)/Btu which is very close to the
value of RD calculated [2.4239 (h ft2 °F)/Btu]. This shows that the calculation in the

Legend:
AN = Surface area per turn of a helix by considering one turn of helix as a torus. The
formula is for area of a torus with radius D2/2 rotated at a distance L from a fixed line
or the axis of rotation. Look for formula at page 3-11 Perry’s Chemical Engineer’s
Handbook, 7th Edition. W = Viscosity of water kW = thermal conductivity of
water L = Paddle length, D1 = Inner diameter of helical tube DV = Inner
diameter of tank. TWI and TWO are water inlet and outlet temperatures. For calculating
the coefficients, the value of characteristic diameter will be D 1 for inner coefficient
and DV for external coefficients.
Data given for 28° API oil at 80°C:
= 4.04x10-4 lb/(ft/s) =0.0006012 Ns/m2
= 53.19 lb/ft3 = 852.6 kg/m3
k = 0.08 Btu/ (h ft °F) = 0.1385 W/ (m K)
CP = 0.509 Btu/ (lb °F) = 2129.7 J/ (kg K)
For apparatus:
Inner diameter of coil = D1 = 0.018046 ft =0.00550 m
Outer diameter of coil = D2 = 0.024476 ft = 0.00746 m
Length of Paddle = L = 0.2875 ft = 0.08763 m
Inner diameter of tank DV = 0.9625 ft = 0.29337 m
Outer diameter of tank = DE = 1.000 ft = 0.3048 m
Number of Rotations = N = 720 rpm =12 rps
AI = 0.2376 cm2 (by formula 7)
AN = 0.0129 m2 /turn (by formula 9)
ID /OD = D1/D2 = 0.7373 (for use in formula 8)

Mass is calculated by multiplying the volume by density. QLOSS is calculated by
formula 17. TWBM, T1, T2, T, TLMTD are calculated by formula 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
respectively.

The value of overall clean heat transfer and dirty heat transfer coefficient is calculated
by formula 16 and 17. The value of area required for cooling is calculated by formula
19 and the number of turns by formula 20.
Result:
The number of turns of cooling coils comes out to be 10.
