a one shell and two tube pass heat exchanger, coolant enters the tube at 4.81 kg/s (spread over 72 tubes with each tube being 0.01 m in diameter and 1.95 m length) at an initial temperature of 25 C. Water enters the shell at 2.5 kg/s at an initial temperature of 5 C. The average convection coefficient of the water is known to be 1e4 W/m2.K. What is the overall heat transfer coefficient, assuming no fouling, negligible tube thermal resistance and near-identical inner and outer tube surfaces? What is the actual heat transfer rate? What is the coolant outlet temperature? The coolant properties are Cp = 1040 J/kg.K, μ = 7.65e-4 kg/s.m, k = 0.058 W/m.K and Pr = 14. Assume the water Cp = 4200 J/kg.K.
