A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is to be used to cool 25.2 kg/s of water from 38°C to 32°C. The exchanger has one shell-side pass and two tube side passes. The hot water flows through the tubes and the cooling water flows through the shell. The cooling water enters at 24°C and leaves at 32°C. The shell-side (outside) heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 5678W/(m 2 K). Design specifications require that the pressure drop through the tubes be as close to 13.8 kPa as possible and that the tubes be 18 BWG copper tubing (1.24 mm wall thickness), and each pass is 4.9 m long. Assume that the pressure losses at the inlet and outlet are equal to one and one half of a velocity heat (?V2/gc), respectively. For these specifications, what tube diameter and how many tubes are needed?
