I am purely trying to find out if a simple rectangular tank when only cooled by the external surrounding air can cool water from 90 to less than 60 degrees without other intervention. We have the manufacturing capability to make the tank easily and cheaply 'in house', this solution would also...
Innovation?
Sustainability? trying to not use cooling water or electricity (which isn't readily available in location either)
Restricted size due to location
Restriction due height of inlet pipe
It's not a massive amount of water that's being considered
If the size of tank required to allow...
Not a homework question, as it's been 10+ years since I was last a student.
90°C is the conservatively estimated temperature of the waste condensate from an industrial steam process, it is not suitable for recovery and therefore requires to be cooled prior to being discharged to drain. 43°C is...
Thank you all for taking the time to reply.
I have estimated the tank dimensions as a starting point, starting small (600mm x 300mm x 400 high)
The area 0.675m^2 was for the 4 sides and the base only.
Hopefully this link works for the concept sketch:-...
Hi 1503-44 thanks for the quick reply.
The 14°C is the average summer day time temperature (it's a cold part of the world [bigsmile] )
Yes I was trying to look at it as a moment in time to simplify the calculation.
The 170kg/hr is the worst case and is assumed to be 24/7.
It's calculating...
Hello I'm looking for advice on if I'm approaching this problem in the correct way whilst trying to keep it simple.
I'm designing a rectangular stainless steel cooling tank which will be located outside with no insulation.
I have 170kg/hr of water at 90°C entering a tank under gravity flow, I...
