(35 pts ) Consider a double pipe heat exchanger in which water is heated by oil as shown in the figure. The inner pipe is of thin wall construction with diameter D=32mm. An engineer wants to know the mass flow rate of oil mh that leads to the effectiveness =0.72. It is known that mh0.7kgs.
(a) Determine the mass flow rate of oil, mh that leads to =0.72.(If you don't have an answer to (a), assume that mh=1kgs for the next sub-problems.)
(b) Determine the hot oil outlet temperature, Th,out.
(c) Determine the LMTD Tlm and the heat exchanger surface area As.
(d) Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient, U. with the knowledge of Tlm,As, and Q.
(e) Determine the heat transfer coefficient hi for the cold water from the number of the forced convection.
(f) Determine that fouling factor Rf if ho=2000Wm2-K with the knowledge of U and hi.
