A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to heat oil with hot water. The shell fluid is water that enters at 90°C. The oil is heated from 15°C to 59°C. The water exits the heat exchanger at 60°C. If the heat exchanger area is 22.0 m² with an overall heat transfer coefficient of 321 W/m K, what is the heat transfer across the heat exchanger? Use a correction factor of 0.80. Draw the temperature profile in your solution sheet. Express your answer in kW.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
