Question: Q . 5 In a counter - flow double pipe heat exchanger water flows through a copper tube ( 1 9 mm O . D

Q.5 In a counter-flow double pipe heat exchanger water flows through a copper tube (19 mm O.D. and 16 mm I.D.), at a flow rate of 1.48ms. The oil flows through the annulus formed by inner copper tube and outer steel tube (30 mm O.D. and 26 mm I.D.). The steel tube is insulated from outside. The oil enters at 0.4kgs and is cooled from 65C to 50C whereas water enters at 32C. Consider fouling factor for the water and oil sides as 0.0005 and 0.0008m2KW
