FIN TUBES INCREASES THE SURFACE AREA OF HEATING.
SO FOR THE REQUIRED QUANTITY OF HEAT TRANSFER THE EXCHANGER
MAY BE DESIGNED SMALL IN COMPARED WITH FINLESS TUBE
EXCHANGER

Answer / s.shanmugam

Fin tubes are usually used for cooling.As we see in
automobile engines constructed with fins.

Answer / anshuman

it depends on the kind of liquid to be heated and steam
requirment if high heat transfer is required with low
cosumpsion of steam we can use fin tubes

Answer / jagadesh

it is not required to heat up liquid in fin tubes by steam
because liuid has to pass trhough tube side. so if
temperature difference is more steam will undergoes
condensation and will lead high pressure drop and less heat
transfer.

Answer / dp

It depends on the htc values on the shell side. If HTC on
the shell side is higher than the tube side adding tubes
wont make much difference in terms of total heat transfer.
If the HTC value on the tube side is higher than the shell
side, adding fins will enhance the total heat transfer. For
suppose if steam is flowing on the tube side and its phase
changes during the process its good to provide fins over the
tubes. If it is other way adding fins wont make much
difference except increasing cost of the exchanger.

Answer / ahmedcool

FINS ARE USED TO INCREASE SURFACE AREA,IS LIKELY TO
TRANSFER HEAT FROM HOTTER BODY TO COLDER BODY.FINS ARE NOT
REQUIRED IN CASE OF STEAM HEATING.

Answer / amol deshpande

Yes, fin tubes are necessary. Fin tubes increases the heat surface area and reduces the thickness of shell wall required.

Question 73 - (a) A dryer reduces the moisture content of 100 kg of a potato product from 80 % to 10 % moisture. Find the mass of the water removed in such drying process. (b) During the drying process, the air is cooled from 80°C to 71°C in passing through the dryer. If the latent heat of vaporization corresponding to a saturation temperature of 71°C is 2331 kJ / kg for water, find the heat energy required to evaporate the water only. (c) Assume potato enters at 24°C, which is also the ambient air temperature, and leaves at the same temperature as the exit air. The specific heat of potato is 3.43 kJ / (kg °C). Find the minimum heat energy required to raise the temperature of the potatoes. (d) 250 kg of steam at 70 kPa gauge is used to heat 49,800 cubic metre of air to 80°C, and the air is cooled to 71°C in passing through the dryer. If the latent heat of steam at 70 kPa gauge is 2283 kJ / kg, find the heat energy in steam. (e) Calculate the efficiency of the dryer based heat input and output, in drying air. Use the formula (Ti - To)/(Ti - Ta) where Ti is the inlet (high) air temperature into the dryer, To is the outlet air temperature from the dryer, and Ta is the ambient air temperature.

Question 43 - In a non-dilute absorber, the inlet gas stream consists of 8 mol % carbon dioxide in nitrogen. By contact with room temperature water at atmospheric pressure, 65 % of the carbon dioxide from a gas stream has been removed. (a) Find the mole ratio of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases at inlet and outlet gas streams. (b) The Henry’s Law provides y = 1640 x for carbon dioxide in water. Find the mole ratio when x = 0.0000427. Mole ratio is y / (1 - y) for y.
