Question:

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is to heat 10,000 kg/h of water from 16 to 84°C by hot engine oil flowing through the shell. The oil makes a single shell pass, entering at 160°C and leaving at 94°C, with an average heat transfer coefficient of 400 W/m2 ∙ K. The water flows through 11 brass tubes of 22.9-mm inside diameter and 25.4-mm outside diameter, with each tube making four passes through the shell.

(a) Assuming fully developed flow for the water, determine the required tube length per pass.

(b) For the tube length found in part (a), plot the effectiveness, fluid outlet temperatures, and water-side convection coefficient as a function of the water flow rate for 5000 < mc < 15,000 kg/h, with all other conditions remaining the same.
