A shell and tube heat exchanger is designed as a counter to cool a mass flow rate of 60 kg/h of engine oil (cp= 1060 J/kg °C) from 300 °C to 150 °C. The cooling water, cp=4182 J/kg °C, enters the tube side (Length is 1.75 m and Outer diameter is 2.54 cm) at a temperature of 20 °C. If the overall heat transfer coefficient, U, is 10.83 W/m² °C and the Capacity Ratio of the Heat Exchanger is 2.4, calculate the following: • The heat transfer rate, • The mass flow rate of the cooling water in the units of (kg/h), Mc • The surface area of the heat exchanger, As • The number of tubes used in the heat exchanger, and The effectiveness of the Heat Exchanger.
