(b) In a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, with one shell pass and four tube passes, water entering at 25°C and volume flowrate is being used to cool oil from 120°C. The mass flow rate of oil has recently been increased to 150 000 kg h-1. There is a total of 780 tubes of 5.0m length and 23.0mm outside diameter and 2 mm thickness.

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.
