A counterflow, concentric tube heat exchanger used for engine cooling has been in service for an extended period of time. The heat transfer surface area of the exchanger is 5 m², and the design value of the overall convection coefficient is 38 W/m²K. During a test run, engine oil flowing at 0.1 kg/s is cooled from 110 °C to 66 °C by water supplied at a temperature of 25 °C and a flow rate of 0.2 kg/s.

Please explain with steps.

Example 11
A counterflow, concentric tube heat exchanger used for engine cooling has been in service for
an extended period of time. The heat transfer surface area of the exchanger is 5 m², and the
design value of the overall convection coefficient is 38 W/m²K. During a test run, engine oil
flowing at 0.1 kg/s is cooled from 110 °C to 66 °C by water supplied at a temperature of 25 °C
and a flow rate of 0.2 kg/s.
1. Determine whether fouling has occurred during the service period.
2. If so, calculate the fouling factor.
