Question: Problem # 1 In Inclass activity # 1 0 a , we have derived the - NTU method for a parallel flow double - pipe

Problem #1
In Inclass activity #10a, we have derived the -NTU method for a parallel flow double-pipe heat exchanger. Here you are asked to follow the same method to derive the following -NTU equation for a counter flow double-pipe heat exchanger:
=1-e-NTU(1-Cr)1-Cre-NTU(1-Cr)
where is the effectiveness of the heat exchanger, Cr the ratio of heat capacitances of two fluids, and NTU the number of transfer unit; all three defined in the following table,
=qqmax=Cw(T1-T2)Cw(T1-t1)=T1-T2T1-t1ifCwCc,Cr=CminCmax=CcCwifCw>Cc,NTU=Uo-AoCcifCw>Cc
