Reconsider Prob. 11–97. Using EES (or other) software, investigate the effects of the mass flow rate of water and the tube length on the outlet temperatures of water and air. Let the mass flow rate vary from 0.05 kg/s to 1.0 kg/s and the tube length from 5 m to 25 m. Plot the outlet temperatures of the water and the air as functions of the mass flow rate and the tube length, and discuss the results.

Data from problem 97

Water (c_p = 4180 J/kg · K) is to be heated by solar heated hot air (c_p = 1010 J/kg · K) in a double-pipe counter flow heat exchanger. Air enters the heat exchanger at 90°C at a rate of 0.3 kg/s, while water enters at 22°C at a rate of 0.1 kg/s. The overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner side of the tube is given to be 80 W/m² · K. The length of the tube is 12 m and the internal diameter of the tube is 1.2 cm. Determine the outlet temperatures of the water and the air.
