Question:

Water is heated in a double-pipe heat exchanger from \(15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Oil \(\left(C_{p}=2500 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) with a mass flow rate of \(0.03 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}\) and inlet and outlet temperatures of \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) respectively serves as the heating fluid.

a. Determine the required surface area for a counterflow exchanger if \(U=300 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

b. What are the length of a transfer unit and the number of transfer units based on the water? On the oil?
