Question: Consider the heat exchanger core geometry and frontal area prescribed in Example 11.6. The exchanger must heat 2 kg/s of water from 300 to 350

Consider the heat exchanger core geometry and frontal area prescribed in Example 11.6. The exchanger must heat 2 kg/s of water from 300 to 350 K, using 1.25 kg/s of combustion gases entering at 700 K. Using the overall heat transfer coefficient determined in the example, find the required heat exchanger volume, assuming single-pass operation. What is the number of tube rows N L in the longitudinal (gas-flow) direction? If the velocity of water flowing through the tubes is 100 mm/s, what is the number of tube rows NT in the transverse direction? What is the required tube length?
