single-pass shell and tube heat exchanger is used to heat a polymer

QUESTION 3 (20 MARKS) A single-pass shell and tube heat exchanger is used to heat a polymer solution (p = 900 kg/m%). The polymer solution is flowing through the stainless-steel tubes with an inside diameter of 0.0428 m at a mass flow rate of 5.18 kg/s. The solution is heated from 30 C to 70 C. Water flows counter-currently in the shell side at a mass flow rate 3.5 kg/s and a temperature of 90 C. The overall heat transfer coefficient (U) for this heat exchanger is 3000 W/(m2. C). ) Calculate the a) heat transfer rate, q, in W, (2 marks) b) exit water temperature, (4 marks) c) log mean temperature difference, (4 marks) number of tubes used if the velocity of polymer solution inside the tube is 0.4 m/s, and (6 marks) e) required tube length.
