A counterflow, concentric tube heat exchanger is used to cool the lubricating oil for a large industrial gas turbine engine. The flow rate of cooling water through the inner tube (D; = 25 mm) is 0.2 kg/s, while the flow rate of oil through the outer annulus (D = 45 mm) is 0.1 kg/s. The oil and water enter at temperatures of 100 and 30°C, respectively. How long must the tube be made if the outlet temperature of the oil is to be 60°C?

What is the main difference between a copper and a cupronickel coaxial heat exchanger, and where is each used?
Water flowing in a long, aluminum lube is to be heated by air flowing perpendicular to the exterior of the tube. The ID of the tube is 1.85 cm, and its OD is 2.3 cm. The mass flow rate of the water through the tube is 0.65kg/s, and the temperature of the water in the lube averages 30C. The free-stream velocity and ambient temperature of the air are 10m/sand120C, respectively. Estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger using appropriate correlations from previous chapters. State all your assumptions.
10.1 In a heat exchanger, as shown in the accompanying figure, air flows over brass tubes of 1.8-cm 1D and 2.1-cm OD containing steam. The convection heat transfer coefficients on the air and steam sides of the tubes are , respectively. Calculate the overall heal transfer coefficient for the heal exchanger (a) based on the inner tube area and (b) based on the outer tube area.
Mot water is used to heat air in a double-pipe heat exchanger as shown in the following sketch. If the heat transfer coefficients on the water side and on the air side are 550W/m2Kand55W/m2K respectively, calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outer diameter. The heat exchanger pipe is 5-cm, schedule 40 steel (k=54W/mK) with water inside.
