Question: 2 . A double - pipe heat ex - changer is constructed of copper ( k = 3 8 0 W / m K )

2. A double-pipe heat ex-changer is constructed of copper (k =380 W/m K) inner tube of internal diameter Di=1.2 cm and external diameter Do =1.6 cm and an outer tube of di ameter 3.0 cm. The convection heat transfer coefficient is reported to be hi =700 W/m2K on the inner surface of the tube and ho =1400 W/m2K on its outer surface. For a fouling factor Rf,i=0.0005 m2 K/W on the tube side and Rf,o=0.0002 m2 K/W on the shell side, determine (a) The thermal resistance of the heat exchanger per unit length. [Ans: 0.0837 K/W](b) Overall heat transfer coefficients Ui and Uo based on the inner and outer surface areas of the tube, respectively.[Ans: 317 W/m2K ,238 W/m2K
