Question: Hot oil ( C p = 2 2 0 0 J k g C ) is to be cooled by water ( C p =

Hot oil (Cp=2200JkgC) is to be cooled by water (Cp=4180
JkgC) in a 2 shell-pass 12 tube-pass heat exchanger. The tubes
are thin walled and made of copper with internal diameter of
1.8 cm . The length of each tube pass in the heat exchanger is 3 m
and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 340WmC. The water
flows through the tubes at 0.1kgs and the oil flows through the
shell at 0.2kgs. The water and the oil enter at 18C and 160C
respectively. Determine the rate of heat transfer and the
temperatures at which the water and the oil exit the heat exchanger.
