Question:
A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with two-shell passes and 4-tube passes is used for cooling oil (cp = 2.0 kJ/kg·K) from 125°C to 55°C. The coolant is water, which enters the shell side at 25°C and leaves at 46°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 900 W/m2·K. For an oil flow rate of 10 kg/s, calculate the cooling water flow rate and the heat transfer area.
