Question: A 0 . 5 kg / s oil stream with a heat capacity of 2 0 5 0 J / kg / K is cooled

A 0.5 kg/s oil stream with a heat capacity of 2050 J/kg/K is cooled from 380 K to 350 K via heat exchange with a 0.2 kg/s water stream with an inlet temperature of 280 K. The heat capacity of water is 4186 J/kg/K. The heat transfer coefficient is 200 W/m2/K.
(a) What is the outlet temperature of the water stream? (2 points)
(b) What are the LMTD and required heat transfer area for a co-current double-pipe exchanger? (1 point)
(c) What are the LMTD and required heat transfer area for a counter-current double-pipe exchanger? By what percentage is the counter-current heat exchanger area lower than that of the co-current heat exchanger? (1 point)
(d) What are the correction factor, Ft, and required heat transfer area for a 2-4 shell-and-tube exchanger?
