Q1

Oil flowing at rate of 5.04 kg/s (cp = 2.09 kJ/kg.K) is cooled in a counter current 1-2 heat
exchanger from 366.5 K to 344.3 K by 2.02 kg/s of water (cp= 4.185 kJ/kg.K) entering at
283.2 K. The overall heat-transfer coefficient Uo is 340 W/m2.K. Calculate the area
required. (Ans: 12.16 m2).

Q2

Water with heat capacity of 4.19 kJ/kg.K is flowing at the rate of 1.13 kg/s in a counter
current 1-2 shell and tube heat exchanger and is heated from 45 oC to 85 oC by oil having
a heat capacity of 1.95 kJ/kg.K. The oil enters at 120 oC and leaves at 85 oC. Calculate the
area of the exchanger if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 300 W/m 2.K. (Ans = 20.81
m2).
