Hot exhaust gases are
used in a finned-tube
cross-flow heat exchanger
to heat 2.5 kg/s of water
from 35 to 85-C. The gases
[cp = 1.09 kJ/kg . °C] enter
at 200 and
leave at 93°C. The overall
heat-transfer coefficient is
180 W/m2 • °C. Calculate
the area of the heat
exchanger using the LMTD
approach.
