Question: QUESTION 2 ( 5 0 % ) A shell and tube heat exchanger consists of 5 0 thin walled tubes in a double pass arrangement.

QUESTION 2(50%)
A shell and tube heat exchanger consists of 50 thin walled tubes in a double pass arrangement. The tubes have an inner diameter of 12.5 mm and a total surface area of 47.5m2. Water enters the tubes at 15C and a total mass flow rate of 6.5kgs. The water is heated by air flowing through the shell at 200C and 5kgs. The overall heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger is U=200Wm2K
You may assume the following fluid properties:
T=15C
