please help me with this question

This is all the information I was given for the question that I sent you. I have nothing else to add to it. I'm going to check with my professor to make sure if the question is written correctly.

In the meantime, I want to replace this question with another question hopefully you can help me with this one.

1. (35 pts) The engineers at Exergy have announced a new line of heat exchangers that employ a two pass tube design. The change comes at an inopportune time as Synthanol is about to build the full-scale plant based on a successful pilot plant run using your design of the distillation tower preheater. The parameters that can't be changed are listed in the table below. Use the appropriate heat exchanger design charts to determine the heat exchange area required for the two-tube-pass exchanger.

When the reaction is complete, the emulsion is broken, and the wet particles are separated from the effluent and fed to a drying tower. The particles are partially suspended in the up flow of the drying gas allowing for the moisture trapped in the particle to wick to the surface where it vaporizes in the gas stream. Assume (1) the wicking rate is sufficient to keep the particle surface completely covered in water, (2) the particles are sufficiently spaced to consider the surrounding gas phase as a semi-infinite medium, and (3) the drying gas stream is free of any water vapor.
