Question:
Repeat Problem 20.35 for the case when the oil throughput must be increased by 25% but the cooling water flow rate remains unchanged from the base case. Determine the new outlet temperatures for both the process and cooling water streams.
Problem 20.35
A 1–2 S-T heat exchanger is used to cool oil in the tubes from 91°C to 51°C using cooling water at 30°C. In the design case, the water exits at 40°C. The resistances on the water and oil sides are equal. What are the new cooling water outlet temperature and the required cooling water flowrate if the oil throughput must be increased by 25% but the outlet temperature must be maintained at 51°C?
