The assignment is worth 20 marks and involves using provided power point slides to answer a question about calculating the overall heat transfer coefficient of a double-tube counter-flow heat exchanger where hot oil is cooled by water flowing through copper inner tubes within an outer shell.
Hot oil is to be cooled in a double-tube counter-flow heat exchanger. The copper
inner tubes have a diameter of 2 cm and negligible thickness. The inner diameter of the outer tube (shell) is 3 cm. Water flows through the tube at 0.5 kg/s and oil flows through the shell at 0.8 kg/s. Taking the average temperatures of the water and the oil to be 45degC and 80degC, respectively, determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger.
