Question: NTU - Effectiveness Method for Heat Exchanger Performance: A shell - and - tube heat exchanger is used to heat 5 k ( g )

NTU-Effectiveness Method for Heat Exchanger Performance: A shell-and-
tube heat exchanger is used to heat 5k(g)/(s)c_(p)=2100(J)/(kg*K)30\deg C to 90\deg C. The heating medium is steam condensing at a constant tempera-
ture of 120\deg C. The overall heat transfer coefficient is U=850(W)/(m^(2))*K, and the heat
exchanger has a surface area of A=12m^(2).
(a) Calculate the effectiveness of the heat exchanger.
(b) Determine the number of transfer units (NTU).
(c) Find the heat transfer rate, Q.
