Question: Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Example Two simple water - water heat exchangers ( both fluids are water ) : concurrent flow one and countercurrent

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Example
Two simple water - water heat exchangers (both fluids are water): concurrent flow one and countercurrent flow one. U for both heat exchangers =4.651Btuh*ft2*F.Cp=1.0BtulbF.
The mass flow rate of center tube inlet is 1,000lbh and temperature is 200F. The outlet temperature is 150F.
The mass flow rate of shell inlet is 2,000lbh and temperature is 50F. The outlet temperature is 75F.
Calculate the area required for both heat exchangers.
