2. CO-EFFICIENT OF DISCHARGE (Cd):- It is defined as the ration of actual discharge from

an orifice to the theoretical discharge. It is denoted by Cd

Qact = Actual discharge

Qth = Theoretical Discharge
Mathematically
Q actual is measured by with the help of collecting tank/ measuring tank.

Q2) 1,75,000lb/hr of distilled water enters an exchanger at 930 F and leaves at 850 F. The heat
will be transferred to 2,80,000 lb/hr of raw water supplied at 750 F and leave the exchanger at
800 F at 10 psi pressure drop may be expected on both the streams while Rd= 0.0005 for the
distilled water and 0.0015 for raw water. When the tube velocity exceeds 6FPS available for this
service is a 15.25 ID exchanger having 160 3.25 OD 18BWG 16 ft long tubes laid out on
15/16 triangular pitch. The bundle is arranged for 2 passes and baffles are spaced 12 apart will
the exchanger be suitable? (25 Marks)
