A double-pipe heat exchanger is used to cool a hot fluid (cp = 3800 J/kg·K) entering the heat exchanger at 200°C with a flow rate of 0.4 kg/s. In the cold side, cooling fluid (cp = 4200 J/kg·K) enters the heat exchanger at 10°C with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s. The double-pipe heat exchanger has a thin-walled inner tube, with convection heat transfer coefficients inside and outside of the inner tube estimated to be 1400 W/m2 ·K and 1100 W/m2 ·K, respectively. The heat exchanger has a heat transfer surface area of 2.5 m2 , and the estimated fouling factor caused by the accumulation of deposit on the surfaces is 0.0002 m2 ·K/W. (a) Determine the effectiveness values for the parallel- and counter-flow configurations. (b) Determine outlet temperatures of the hot fluid for the parallel- and counter-flow configurations. (c) Determine outlet temperatures of the cold fluid for the parallel- and counter-flow configurations.
