Question:

A thin-walled double-pipe, counter-flow heat exchanger is to be used to cool oil (cp = 0.525 Btu/lbm·°F) from 300°F to 105°F at a rate of 5 lbm/s by water (cp = 1.0 Btu/lbm·°F) that enters at 70°F at a rate of 3 lbm/s. The diameter of the tube is 5 in and its length is 200 ft. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger using

(a) The LMTD method

(b) The ε-NTU method.
