Question:

A finned-tube, cross-flow heat exchanger is to use the exhaust of a gas turbine to heat pressurized water. Laboratory measurements are performed on a prototype version of the exchanger, which has a surface area of 10 m2, to determine the overall heat transfer coefficient as a function of operating conditions. Measurements made under particular conditions, for which mh = 2 kg/s, Th,i = 325°C, mc = 0.5 kg/s, and Tc,i = 25°C, reveal a water outlet temperature of Tc,o = 150°C. What is the overall heat transfer coefficient of the exchanger?
