Question: You are required to solve some design problems for a one - shell two - passes shell - and - tube heat exchanger to cool

You are required to solve some design problems for a one-shell two-passes shell-and-tube heat
exchanger to cool down hot reaction products dissolved in water (you can assume properties for
water). For that purpose,
Find empirical correlations and a method to calculate shell side convection heat transfer
coefficient and overall heat transfer coefficient and answer the following questions
a) How do the convection heat transfer coefficients depend on mass flow rate or Re?
b) Why baffles are used in shell-and-tube type heat exchangers?
c) What kinds of flow you have inside the shell with baffles?
 You are required to solve some design problems for a one-shell
