leaves at a temperature of 70°C. The specific heat capacities of the hot and cold
fluids are 1150 J/kg-K and 4180 J/kg K, respectively. The convection heat transfer
coefficient on the inner and outer side of the tube is 300 W /m2.K and 800 W /m2.K,
respectively. For a fouling factor of 0.0003 m2.K/W on the tube side and 0.0001
m2.K/W on the shell side, determine the overall heat transfer coefficient, the exit
temperature of the hot fluid as well as the surface area of the heat exchanger.
