Repeat Problem 11.14 for parallel flow in the exchanger and discuss the differences between parallel and countercurrent

Question:

Repeat Problem 11.14 for parallel flow in the exchanger and discuss the differences between parallel and countercurrent flow.

Prob. 11.14

Benzene vapor at 100°C is cooled and condensed at atmospheric pressure in a shell-and-tube exchanger. The cooling water enters at 20°C and leaves at 45°C. For countercurrent flow, calculate Δ̅T̅L for the cooling and condensing sections of the exchanger. What fraction of the total heat is transferred in each section? The specific heat of benzene is 0.35 cal/g · °C and the heat of vaporization is 165 cal/g.
