Question: A finned tube compact heat exchanger ( type CF - 7 . 0 - 5 / 8 J ) is used in a heat pump.

A finned tube compact heat exchanger (type CF-7.0-5/8J) is used in a heat pump. The core (tubes and fins) is fabricated from copper, and the tubes have an inside diameter of 15 mm . The liquid flowing within the tubes provides an an inside convection coefficient of \(\mathrm{hi}=800\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\mathrm{~K}\). Cross flow air passes over the tubes at 1 bar and 300 K . The air mass flow rate is \(0.7\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\), the frontal area of the heat exchanger is \(0.2\mathrm{~m}^{2}\) and the length of the core is 0.4 m .
a)
What is the gas side overall heat transfer coefficient (in \(\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\mathrm{~K}\))?
Expected answer:
A finned tube compact heat exchanger ( type CF -
