Question

Transcribed Image Text:A counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger is to heat water from 20°C to 80°C
at a rate of 1.2 kg/s as shown in Figure Q3 (b). The heating is to be accomplished
by geothermal water available at 160°C with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The
inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. If the overall heat transfer
coefficient of the heat exchanger is 640 W/m².°C, determine the length of the
heat exchanger required to achieve the desired heating. Given that the specific
heats of water and geothermal fluid to be 4.18 and 4.31 kJ/kg·°C, respectively.
