Cold water (C, = 4180 J/kg.°C) enters the tubes of a heat exchanger with 2-shell passes and 20 tube passes at 20 °C at a rate of 3 kg/s, while hot oil (C, = 2200 J/kg.°C) enters the shell at 130 °C at the same mass flow rate and leaves at 60°C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outer surface of the tube is 300 W/m².°C, determine; i. the rate of heat transfer and ii. the heat transfer surface area on the outer side of the tube.

QUESTION 8
Cold water (C, = 4180 J/kg.°C) enters the tubes of a heat exchanger with 2-shell passes and 20 tube
passes at 20 °C at a rate of 3 kg/s, while hot oil (C, = 2200 J/kg.°C) enters the shell at 130 °C at the
same mass flow rate and leaves at 60°C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outer
surface of the tube is 300 W/m².°C, determine;
i.
the rate of heat transfer and
ii.
the heat transfer surface area on the outer side of the tube.
