A shell and tube heat exchanger (single shell, two tube pass) is to cool oil from a large marine engine. Lake water (the shell-side fluid) enters the heat exchanger at 2kgs and 15C with a convection coefficient of 500Wm2.K. Engine oil flows through 100 copper tubes (k=399Wm.K) at a rate of 1kgs(the flow rate per tube is therefore 0.01kgs). The oil enters the tubes at 140C, where each tube is 1.5 m long with inner and outer diameters of 6 and 8 mm , respectively. Assume the flow in the tubes is fully developed. (40 points)
Engine oil: =854kgm3,cp=2118Jkg.K,=0.0356N.sm2,k=0.318Wm.K Lake water: cp=4180Jkg. K
(a) Find the overall heat transfer coefficient UA, in W/K.
(b) Calculate the oil outlet temperature.
