Question
In a hydrocarbon processing plant, Fluid A (cp = 4.31 kJ/kg-K) entering the tube
side is used to heat Fluid B (cp = 2.05 kJ/kg-K) in a heat exchanger with an
overall heat transfer coefficient of 150 W/m2.°C. Based on the information given
in TABLE Q3, determine the outlet temperatures of Fluid A and Fluid B. If the
surface area of the heat exchanger increases 30%, what would be the effect on
outlet temperatures? Justify your answer with calculation. Comment your
answer.
