Question: A double - pipe ( shell - and - tube ) heat exchanger is constructed of a copper ) = ( 3 8 0 W

A double-pipe (shell-and-tube) heat exchanger is constructed of a copper )=(380Wm*C inner tube of inner diameter Di=1.2cm and outer diameter D0=1.6 cm and an outer shell of inner diameter 3.0 cm . The convection heat transfer coefficient is given to be hi=700Wm2*C on the inner surface of the tube and ho=1400Wm2*C on the outer surface.
For a fouling factor of Rf,i=0.0005m2*CW on the tube side and Rf,o=0.0002m2*CW on the shell side, determine;
(a) The thermal resistance per unit length
(b) The overall heat transfer coefficients (Ui) and (Uo) based on the inner and outer surface areas of the tube.
(c) The rate of heat transfer per unit area if hot fluid enters at 150C and leaves at 100C.
