A counter flow single body single pass heat exchanger is used to cool the lubricating oil of an industrial gas turbine. The flow rate of the cooling water flowing in the pipe is 0.2 kg/s and the pipe diameter is 25mm. The flow rate of the oil flowing between the pipe and the body is 0.1 kg/s and the body diameter is 45 mm. Oil enters at 100°C, while water enters at 30°C. What should be the length of the pipe so that the outlet temperature of the oil is 60 °C ?

A counter flow single body single pass heat exchanger is used to cool the lubricating oil of an industrial
gas turbine. The flow rate of the cooling water flowing in the pipe is 0.2 kg/s and the pipe diameter is
25mm. The flow rate of the oil flowing between the pipe and the body is 0.1 kg/s and the body diameter is
45 mm. Oil enters at 100°C, while water enters at 30°C.
What should be the length of the pipe so that the outlet temperature of the oil is 60 °C ?
