What if the outlet temperatures are unknown? e.g. calculate the performance of a given heat exchanger.
To calculate unknown outlet temperatures: Procedure: 1. guess outlet temperatures 2. calculate Tlm, FT 3. calculate Q 4. calculate Q from energy balance 5. compare, adjust, repeat.

Heat Exchanger Effectiveness for Double-pipe or 1-1 Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers counter-current co-current
Final Exam
CM 310 November 16, 1998
3. (25 points) Water flowing at a rate of 0.723 kg/s enters the inside of a countercurrent, double-pipe heat exchanger at 300K and is heated by an oil stream that enters at 385K at a rate of 3.2kg/s. The heat capacity of the oil is 1.89 kJ/kg K, and the average heat capacity of water over the temperature range of interest is 4.192 kJ/kg K. The overall heat-transfer coefficient of the exchanger is 300 W/m2 K, and the area for heat transfer is 15.4 m2. What is the total amount of heat transferred?
