Question:

You have been assigned to design a heat exchanger to cool a gaseous process stream in a chemical plant. The stream (20 kg/s) enters at 431 K, has a heat capacity of 3.45 J/g°C, and needs to be cooled to 402 K. Cooling water is available at 85°F and has a specified maximum temperature of 120°F. The overall heat-transfer coefficient is approximately 570 W/m2K. How much area must the heat exchanger have?
