4. Problem: (50 Marks)

    Given

• Diameter of cooler inlet and outlet pipe= 50 mm
• Length of the CAC= 1000 mm
• Inlet mass flow rate = 1200 kg/ h at 100 degC
• Outlet pressure 2 bar at 30 deg C

• Calculate the total heat transfer at the Charge air cooler (CAC)
• Calculate pressure drop across CAC

Solution.

Total heat transfer at Charge air cooler (CAC) = -7.8267403 kW

The pressure drop across CAC = 1.1474642E-5 bar
