Benzene flowing at 12.5 kg/s is to be cooled continuously from 80°C to 54°C by 10 kg/s of water available at 15.5°C. Using Table 10.6, estimate the surface area required for (a) cross-flow with six tube passes and one shell pass with neither of the fluids mixed and (b) a counterflow exchanger with one shell pass and eight tube passes with the colder fluid inside tubes.

GIVEN
• Benzene coded by water in a heat exchanger
• Benzene flow rate m b= 12.5 kg/s
• Water flow rate m w= 10 mg/s
• Benzene temperatures
? (Tb,in) = 82°C
? (Tb,out) = 54°C
• Water inlet temperature (Tw,in) = 15.5°C
FIND
The surface area required for (a) Cross-flow, 6 tube passes, 1 shell pass, both unmixed (b) Counterflow, 8 tube passes, 1 shell pass, water in tubes
