Design a double pipe heat exchanger to cool a flow of liquid benzene from 85°F to 60°F. The mass flow rate of the benzene is 12,500 lbm/h. City water at 50°F is available to provide the required cooling. The water supply flow rate is available up to 16,000 lbm/h. Once the design process is complete, analyze the heat exchanger to determine its thermal and hydraulic performance. Report your results in a table similar to Table 5.8. Justify your selections by providing all calculations required to design and analyze the heat exchanger (e.g., computer code, spreadsheets, and/or hand calculations).
