    This document provides an estimation of the heat transfer area needed for a heat exchanger based on input parameters. It lists the fluid mass flow rates and temperatures as inputs. It then calculates the heat transfer rate as 925,000 Btu/hr and the log mean temperature difference as 79.6°F. Based on these values and the overall heat transfer coefficient, it determines that the required heat transfer area is 96.9 ft2.
