Question: ( a ) A shell - and - tube heat exchanger with 2 - shell passes and 1 2 - tube passes is used to

(a) A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with 2-shell passes and 12-tube passes is used to
heat water (Cp=4180Jkg*C) with ethylene glycol (Cp=2680Jkg*C). Water
enters the tubes at 22C at a rate of 0.8kgs and leaves at 70C. Ethylene glycol
enters the shell at 110C and leaves at 60C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient
based on the tube side is 280Wm2.C, determine:
(i) the rate of heat transfer.
[5 Marks]
(ii) the heat transfer surface area on the tube side.
