Question:

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used for heating 14 kg/s of oil (cp = 2.0 kJ/kg⋅K) from 20°C to 46°C. The heat exchanger has one shell pass and six tube passes. Water enters the shell side at 80°C and leaves at 60°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 1000 W/m2⋅K. Calculate the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer area.
