In a chemical plant a solution of density 1100 kg/m' and specific heat capacity
4.6 kJ/kg K is to be heated from 65 "C to 100 "C; the required flow rate of solution is
11.8 kg/s. It is desired to use a tubular heat exchanger, the solution flowing at about
1.2 m/s in 25 mm bore iron tubes, and being heated by wet steam at 115°C. The length
of the tubes must not exceed 3.5 m. Taking the inside and outside heat transfer coefficients
as 5 and 10 kW/m K, and neglecting the thermal resistance of the tube wall, estimate
the number of tubes and the number of tube passes required.
