Water flows at the rate of 65kg/min through a double pipe counter flow HX. Water is heated from 50deg C to 75deg C by an oil flowing through the tube. the specific heat of oil is 1.78kJ/kg-K. The oil enters at 115 degC and leaves at 70degC. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 400W/m2-K. Calculate the rate of heat transfer and the required number of tubes with OD=30mm and L=4m
