Question:

A long thin-walled double-pipe heat exchanger with tube and shell diameters of 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm, respectively, is used to condense refrigerant-134a by water at 20°C. The refrigerant flows through the tube, with a convection heat transfer coefficient of hi = 4100 W/m2·K. Water flows through the shell at a rate of 0.3 kg/s. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger.
