Question:

A double-pipe heat exchanger consists of a length of 1-in, schedule-40 pipe inside an equal length of 3-in, schedule-40 pipe.

Water flows at a velocity of 1.393 m/s in the annular region between the pipes and enters the heat exchanger at 30°C. Oil flows in the inner pipe at an average velocity of 1 m/s and enters at 100°C. The water and oil flow countercurrently. Following are the properties of the water and oil:Water @30C r = 998 kg/m Oil @100C r = 690 kg/m Cp=4216 J/kg/K k = 0.60 W/m/K m = 700  106 kg/m/sm= 511  106

Determine how long the pipe lengths must be in order for the oil to leave the exchanger at 50°C. You may assume that both fluids are clean and that there is no fouling or tube wall resistances.
