Hot brine from a geothermal well passes through 120 3 cm-O.D., 1 mm-wall- thickness, 16 m-long titanium alloy (k = 14 W/m K) tubes. Refrigerant-113 boils on the exterior of the tubes at 150°C, with an outside heat transfer coefficient of 20,000 W/m2 K. The hot brine enters the tubes at 210°C, and the bulk velocity in each tube is 2 m/s. Calculate the following quantities.
