A counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger is to heat water from 20°C to 90°C at a rate of 1.4 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water available at 160°C at a mass flow rate of 2.2 kg/s. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. If the overall heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 650 W/m2°C, determine the length of the heat exchanger required to achieve the desired heating. The specific heats of water and geothermal fluid to be 4180 and 4310 J/kg °C, respectively. Select one: a. 100.6 m b. 161.8 m c. 121.3 m d. 81.7 m
