Consider a shell and tube exchanger, in a single shell, two tube pass configuration with
an overall heat transfer coefficient of 300 W/m2-K. The exhaust gases, assumed to have
the properties of air, enter and leave the shell at 483 K and 378 K, respectivecly. The
water, flowing at a mass flow rate of 180 kg/min, enters and exits the tube at 303 K and
363 K, respectively. What is the heat exchanger area?
