How to solve
It has been decided that an old simple heat exchanger needs to be replaced. No records can be found and the only information that can be read off of the exchanger nameplate is that there is onepass on both the shell and tube side, and that there are steel BWG tubes that are ft long. The exchanger is currently operating with a product stream on the shellside and cooling water on the tubeside. The configuration is countercurrent. No data is available for the product stream. You can neglect tubewall resistance and fouling but you must take into account the tube dimensions since they are known
