A counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger is to heat water from 30°C to 80°C at a rate of 15 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water available at 160°C at a mass flow ate of 2 kg/s. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.7 cm. If the overall heat ransfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 630 W/m2°C, determine the rate of heat transfer n kW?

Please answer the problem given below.

 

A counter-flow double-pipe heat exchanger is to heat water from 30°C to 80°C at a rate of 1.5
kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by geothermal water available at 160°C at a mass flow
rate of 2 kg/s. The inner tube is thin-walled and has a diameter of 1.7 cm. If the overall heat
transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger is 630 W/m2°C, determine the rate of heat transfer
in kW?
