In a parallel-flow heat exchanger, air (c,=1 kJ/kgk) is heated from 15 °C to 85 °C by water (c,=4 kJ/kgK). Water enters heat exchanger at 180 °C. Mass flow rate of water and air 0.6 kg/s and 3 kg/s, respectively. Heat transfer coefficient on air and water side is 300 and 1000 W/m²K., respectively. If the heat exchanger is made of 0.1-m diameter and 4-m long thin copper tubes, how many tubes are needed?

In a parallel-flow heat exchanger, air (c,=1
kJ/kgK) is heated from 15 °C to 85 °C by water
(C,=4 kJ/kgK). Water enters heat exchanger at
180 °C. Mass flow rate of water and air 0.6 kg/s
and 3 kg/s, respectively. Heat transfer coefficient
on air and water side is 300 and 1000 W/m-K.,
respectively. If the heat exchanger is made of
0.1-m diameter and 4-m long thin copper tubes,
how many tubes are needed?
