Question

A shell and tube heat exchanger, with two
tube passes and one shell pass, is used to
cool the lubricant of an engine in a thermal
power plant. The cold fluid is water (Cp =
4180 J/kg. °C) driven from a river that
enters the tubes at 22°C. The lubricant (Cp
= 2130 J/kg. °C) enters the shell with a
temperature of 120°C. We assume that the
overall heat transfer coefficient "U" is 450
W/m2 °C. If the lubricant is the minimum
fluid, the effectiveness of this exchanger is
E=0.7, the NUT = 2, and the heat transfer
area A = 8 m2, determine the water output
temperature Tc,out
Select one:
O a. 53.1°C
O b. 58.9°C
O c. 56.3°C
O d. 60.6°C
