7-32 A simple heat exchanger consisting of two concentric flow passages is used for
heating 1110 kg/h of oil (sp. heat = 2.1 kJ/kg.C) from a temperature of 27°C to 49°C.
The oil flows through the inner pipe made of copper (OD = 2.85 cm, ID = 2.54 cm) and
the surface heat transfer coefficient on the oil side is 635 Wim?.C. The oil is heated by
hot water supplied at the rate of 390 kg/h and at an inlet temperature of 93°C. The
water side heat transfer coefficient is 1270 Wim?.C. Take the thermal conductivity of
copper to be 350 WimC and the fouling factors on the oil and water sides to be 0.0001
and 0004 m?.C/W. Whatis the length of the heat exchanger for (i) parallel flow, and (ii)
counter flow?
