Question: 2 0 points - A thin - walled double - pipe heat exchanger is to be used to cool oil ( c p = 2

20 points - A thin-walled double-pipe heat exchanger is to be used to cool oil (cp=2500Jkg*K) from 150C to 70C at a rate of 2kgs by water (cp=4180Jkg*K) that enters at 20C at a rate of 3kgs. The diameter of the tube is 2.5cm. The overall heat transfer coefficient ( U ) of this heat exchanger is estimated to be 24kWm2C. Use LMTD method to determine the required length for
a. A parallel-flow heat exchanger
b. A counter-flow heat exchanger
c.2-shell passed and 4-tube passes
Parallel flow
Counter flow
