At the rate of 5,000 lbm/min, water is heated from 100 to 130-F in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. On the shell side one pass is used with water as the heating fluid, 250 lbm/min enters the exchanger at 200-F. Because of space limitations, the tube length must not be longer than 8 ft. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is 250 Btu/h ft2 - F, and the average water velocity in the 34-in diameter tubes is 1.2 ft/s. Calculate the heat exchanger surface area in ft2.
