22.1127.4Equation 3 and the cost of electricity, which is 0.07/kWh. A year is assumed to be 8000 h,which allows for about one month of plant shut down for maintenance.The purchased cost of each compressor is given by: ( PC comp [$] = $15.9 W& [ W] 0.8 ) (5)The design equation for the heat exchanger is given by: Q[W ] = m& air [kg/s]C p,air [J/kg K](Tair ,in − Tair ,out ) = m& cw [kg/s]C p,cw [J/kg K](Tcw,out − Tcw,in ) = U [ W/m 2 K] A[m 2 ]FΔTlm

(U) are calculated in the usualmanner set forth in any standard heat transfer text, see for example Holman[3]. In addition, thetechnical evaluation of an immersion chiller in this application has been covered by Joye andSmith.[4] Q = mcool ⋅ Cp ⋅ (Tcw,out − Tcw,in ) = U ⋅ Aex ΔTLM [1]where Q is the heat transfer rate, mcool is the cooling water flow rate, Cp is water heat capacity,Tcw,out is the cooling water outlet temperature, Tcw,in is the cooling water inlet temperature, U isthe overall heat transfer coefficient based on Aex , the outside surface area of the cooling coils,and ΔT LM is the log-mean average temperature driving force. Students are asked to calculate Ufor each data set and plot

chemical engineers are well acquainted with the theory and correlations developed forheat exchanger design we describe the exact methods used for calculations in the particular labexperiment at hand so there will be no confusion as to what was done. Experimentally, theamount of heat transferred in the exchanger may be calculated from the average valuesdetermined by energy balances for the shell and the tube sides of the exchanger. Eq 1 Eq 2Validity of the experimental values for the two fluids may be checked by comparing the twovalues of Q – this adds validity to

in Table 6.TABLE 6: Responses from In-Class Student Feedback. The number in parenthesesrepresents how many students noted this issue or something closely rated (N=45, the 2006and 2008 classes)Q: What advice would you give to next year's class?“Start early with the project and set up regular times to meet with your group.” (32)“Outside of class, think about situations or other classes you could apply the material: you’ll surpriseyourself.” (18)“Go to class everyday and pay attention and take notes. The real detriment will be to your personalexperience if you don’t.” (17)“Take advantage of the guest lecturers and ask questions.” (7) “Mention that you’ve taken a problem solving class in any interviews you have and you’d besurprised how
