Question:

A rectangular heat exchanger is to be divided into smaller sections using sheets of commercial steel 0.4 mm thick, as sketched in Fig. P6.98. The flow rate is 20 kg/s of water at 20°C. Basic dimensions are L = 1 m, W = 20 cm, and H = 10 cm. What is the proper number of square sections if the overall pressure drop is to be no more than 1600 Pa?
