A fermenter is maintained at 35⁰C by water circulating at a rate of 0.5 kg s^-1 in a cooling coil inside the vessel. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the water are 8⁰C and 15⁰C respectively. The length of the cooling coil is increased by 50%. In order to maintain the same fermentation temperature, the rate of heat removal must be kept the same. Determine the new cooling-water flow rate and outlet temperature by carrying out the following calculations. The heat capacity of the cooling water can be taken as 4.18 kJ kg^- 1 o C^- 1. From a steady-state energy balance on the cooling water, calculate the rate of cooling with the original coil ___________________.

If the length of the coil is increased by 50⁰C the area available for heat transfer, A ', also increases by 50% so that A' = 1.5 A. The value of the overall heat-transfer coefficient is not expected to change very much. For the new coil, what is the value of UA’ ______________

In current service, 20 kg s^-1 cooling water at 12⁰C must be circulated through a coil inside a fermenter to maintain the temperature at 37⁰C The coil is 150 m long with pipe diameter 12 cm; the exit water temperature is 28⁰C After the inner and outer surfaces of the coil are cleaned it is found that only 13 kg s^-1 cooling water is required to control the fermentation temperature. Calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient before cleaning. _____________
