(Water thermal properties could be assumed as constant.) [20] b) What would have been the outlet temperatures of the cold and hot water streams if the exchanger would be twice as long? [20] c) Would you be able to increase the heat transfer rate between the fluids if you would reverse the cold water flow direction on the outer tube ? If yes, please quantify the heat transfer rate rise. If not, briefly explain your reasoning. 0 Tube fluid 41
