    1) A counter-flow heat exchanger problem is given with initial conditions and the overall heat transfer coefficient equation. Newton Raphson's method is to be used to determine the flow rate that results in a heat transfer of 300 kW. 2) Three suppliers offer different payment plans for gas burners. The best financial deal must be determined, and whether the recommendation would change if interest rates increased. 3) An optimization problem is given to minimize the fuel consumption of a vehicle based on two parameters, subject to a constraint. The problem is to be solved using Lagrange multipliers and geometric programming.

    Assignment-2

    1) In a counter-flow heat exchanger, cold water enters at 20°C (annulus)


    and hot water at 80°C. The two flow rates are equal and denoted by m
    in kg/s. The specific heat is also given as the same for the cold and hot
    water streams and equal to 3.0 kJ/(kg K). The value of the overall

    1 0.2
    heat transfer coefficient U in kW/(m2 K) is given as =0.1+ . Where
    UA √m
    A is the area in sq m. Use Newton Raphson’s method to determine the
    appropriate value of m which results in a heat transfer of 300 kW. Use
    initial guess value of 3 kg/s
    2) A gas burner needed for a furnace can be purchased from three
    different suppliers. The first one wants $100 for each burner, payable
    on delivery. The second supplier is willing to take payments of $55
    each at the end of six months and the year. The third supplier claims
    that his deal is the best and asks for $110 at the end of the year. The
    current interest rate is 8.5%, compounded continuously. Since a large
    number of burners are to be bought, it is important to get the best
    financial deal. Whom would you recommend? Would your
    recommendation change if the interest rate were to go up, say to
    12%?
    3) Fuel consumption F of a vehicle is given in terms of two parameters x
    and y which characterize combustion and drag as F=10.5 x1.5 + 6.2 y 0.7 with
    the constraints from the conservation laws x 1.2 y 2 =20. Cast this problem
    as a constrained optimization problem and solve it by both the
    Lagrange multiplier method and geometrical programming?
    4) 7. Cost C of a storage tank n is given in terms of its dimensions as
    C=12 x2 +2 y 2+ 5 z 2 .with the volume is given as 10 units. Using the
    Lagrange method of optimization with a constrained approach solves
    the above problem for minimum cost.
    5) Dimensionless temperature x and heat flux y in a thermal system is
    governed by nonlinear equations x3+3y2 = 21
    1. X2+2y = -2
    Solve by newton raphson’s method and successive substitution
    methods and compare the results and the convergence in the two
    cases.
    6) A heat exchanger with one shell and two tube passes uses seawater at
    15°C with cp =3.8kJ/kgK to cool a flow rate of freshwater of 1.6 kg/s
    enterings at 40°C. If the UA of the heat exchanger is 10 kW/K what
    must be the flow rate of seawater to cool fresh water to 22.5°C? use
    newton raphson’s method with the trial value of 3 kg/s.
