Question: ( 1 0 pts ) Cold water at T i | c | | = 1 0 C and a flow rate of ( m

(10 pts) Cold water at Ti|c||=10C and a flow rate of (m)|c||=2kgs is heated by hot water at Ti|h||=90C and a flow rate of (m)|h||=4kgs using a heat exchanger having one shell pass and four tube passes (Fig.1). If the product of the area and overall convection coefficient is UmAt=10,000WK, calculate the hot water outlet temperature To|h|| with the aid of the -NTU method. As a first approximation, assume a specific heat of cp=4,200JkgK for both sides. (Specific heat is not a terribly strong function of temperature for water in the ranges of temperature characteristic of this problem.)
