Question:

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with 2-shell passes and 12-tube passes is used to heat water (cp = 4180 J/kg·K) with ethylene glycol (cp = 2680 J/kg·K). Water enters the tubes at 22°C at a rate of 0.8 kg/s and leaves at 70°C. Ethylene glycol enters the shell at 110°C and leaves at 60°C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the tube side is 280 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer surface area on the tube side.
