Question: the maximum temperature limit for CPVC pipes is 9 3 . 3 C . A double - pipe heat exchanger is located upstream of the

the maximum temperature limit for CPVC pipes is 93.3C. A double-pipe heat
exchanger is located upstream of the pipe system to reduce the hot water
temperature before it flows into the CPVC pipes. The inner tube of the heat
exchanger has a negligible wall thickness, and its diameter is 25 mm. The
convection heat transfer coefficients inside and outside of the heat exchanger
inner tube are 3600 W/m2
K and 4500 W/m2
K, respectively. The hot fluid (cp =
4216 J/kgK) enters the heat exchanger at 105C with a flow rate of 0.75 kg/s. In
the cold fluid stream, water enters the heat exchanger at 10C and exits at 80C.
To ensure that the hot water exiting the heat exchanger is 93.3C or lower,
please determine the length for counter flow
and the length of parralle flow
