Two AES exchangers in series have trouble heating up a process stream from 50ᵒC to 90ᵒC, and cooling down a hot stream with the same flow rate from 110ᵒC to 70ᵒC. Luckily, there is an abandoned AES exchanger available that has four times the surface of the two existing exchangers, and even better, it has the right material and sufficiently high design P & T, and would fit on the plot space occupied by the existing exchangers. Is replacement a good idea? Please provide all necessary formulas or principles.
