Question

In a one-shell and eight-tube pass heat exchanger, the
temperature of water flowing at rate of 50,000 lbm/h is raised
from 70°F to 150°F. Hot air (cp = 0.25 Btu/lbm·°F) that flows
on the tube side enters the heat exchanger at 600°F and exits at 300°F. If the convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer
surface of the tubes is 30 Btu/h·ft2·°F, determine the surface
area of the heat exchanger using both LMTD and « - NTU
methods. Account for the possible fouling resistance of 0.0015
and 0.001 h·ft2·°F/Btu on water and air side, respectively.
