4)
A counterflow double-pipe heat exchanger is designed to cool lubricating oil for a large industrial gas turbine engine. The flow rate of cooling water through the inner tube is \(0.2\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\), and the water enters the tubes at \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), while the flow rate of oil through the outlet annulus is \(0.4\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\). The oil and water enter the heat exchanger at temperatures of \(60^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), respectively. The heat transfer coefficients in the annulus and in the inner tube have been estimated as 8 and \(2445\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\cdot \mathrm{~K}\), respectively. The outer diameter of the inner tube is 25 mm , and the inner diameter of the outer tube is 45 mm . The total length of the double-pipe heat exchanger (total length per hairpin) is 15 m , and total heat exchanger area is \(325\mathrm{~m}^{2}\). In the analysis, the tube wall resistance and the curvature of the wall are neglected. What is the total value of the fouling resistance used in this design?
