solve in 10 min
A double pipe parallel flow heat exchanger is used to heat water (Cp=4180J/kg?K) at a rate of 0.2kg/s from 28?C to 65?C. Geothermal water (Cp=4310J/kg?K) available at 127?C at a mass flow rate of 0.3kg/s is used for heating. The inner tube is 0.8cm in diameter and has a thin wall. Determine the length of the tube required to achieve the desired heating if the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 550W/m2.K.
