I have designed a plate and frame heat exchanger to cool liquid in a tank. The return line from the process to the feed tank running at 20gpm is cooled from 90 to 55 deg F. The cooled liquid is then pumped to the process at 100gpm.
I feel it is economical to cool return line ( 20gpm) to the tank than cooling 100gpm from the pump discharge to the process as it demands for a larger heat exchnager and heavier duty. If the tank volume is 13000 Gal, how do we find the time and energy required to cool the whole tank volume using return line that flows at 20gpm at 55deg F.
Thanks
