Question: A double - pipe parallel - flow heat exchanger is to heat water ( c p = 4 1 8 0 J k g *

A double-pipe parallel-flow heat exchanger is to heat water (cp=4180Jkg*K) from 25C to 60C at a rate of 0.2kgs. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water (cp=4310Jkg*K) available at 140C at a mass flow rate of 0.3kgs. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 0.8 cm . If the outer tube with geothermal water has a diameter of 2.5 cm . Determine the length of the tube required to achieve the desired heating.
Hint use =1000kgm3,v=110-6m2sec, and Pr at Tavg_cold=40C and T=avg_hot=130C, and kf=.6WmC for both geothermal hot and cool side water.
