A counter-flow heat exchanger is stated to have an overall heat transfer coefficient, based on outside tube
Question:
A counter-flow heat exchanger is stated to have an overall heat transfer coefficient, based on outside tube area of 50 Btu/h·ft2·°F when operating at design and clean conditions. After a period of use, scale built-up in the heat exchanger gives a fouling factor of 0.002 h·ft2·°F/Btu. Determine
(a) The overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger
(b) The percentage change in the overall heat transfer coefficient due to the scale built-up.
