Question: Four 2 - m - long double pipe heat exchangers made of 4 - std type M and 3 - std type M copper tubing

Four 2-m-long double pipe heat exchangers made of 4-std type M and 3-std type M copper tubing are connected together in series to form one 8-m-long exchanger. It is used to cool (unused) engine oil. The exchanger takes in water at 20C at a flow rate of 30kgs and oil at a temperature of 140C with a flow rate of 0.2kgs. Determine the expected outlet temperature of the oil and the pressure drop encountered by both streams. Assume counterflow.
Summary of Performance of Heat Exchanger (Counterflow)
Spreadsheet follows.
