Butyric acid is being cooled from 82oC to 60 oC by heat exchange with water entering a shell and tube heat exchanger at 36 oC and leaving at 70oC . The exchanger consists of 50 pipes, 2 meter length fabricated from a 2-in Sch 40 steel pipe. The flow rate of the butyric acid is 10,000 kg/hr. What is the dirt factor if the hot stream is placed in the tubes? Assume ho = 2000 and hi = 5000; hdi is negligible. What setup of a shell and tube heat exchanger will work best?
