2- A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with 2-shell passes and 8-tube passes is used to heat ethyl alcohol (Cp 2670 J/kg°C) in the tubes from 25°C to 70°C at a flow rate of 2.1 kg/s. The heating is to be done by water (Cp-4190 J/kg°C) that enters the shell side at 95°C and leaves at 45°C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 950 W/m²°C, determine the heat transfer surface area of the heat exchanger. (25p)
