Question: A single-pass cross-flow heat exchanger with both fluids unmixed has water entering at 16°C and exiting at 33°C, while oil (c p = 1.93 kJ/kg·K

A single-pass cross-flow heat exchanger with both fluids unmixed has water entering at 16°C and exiting at 33°C, while oil (cp= 1.93 kJ/kg·K and ρ = 870 kg/m3) flowing at 0.19 m3/min enters at 38°C and exits at 29°C. If the surface area of the heat exchanger is 20 m2, determine

(a) The NTU value

(b) The value of the overall heat transfer coefficient.

Oil flow (unmixed) Water flow (unmixed)

Oil flow (unmixed) Water flow (unmixed)
