Question:

Consider the heat exchanger of Problem 11.14. After several years of operation, it is observed that the outlet temperature of the cold water reaches only 95°C rather than the desired 120°C for the same flow rates and inlet temperatures of the fluids. Determine the cumulative (inner and outer surface) fouling factor that is the cause of the poorer performance.
