Water flowing at a rate of 10 kg/s through 50 tubes double-pass shell and tube heat exchanger heats air that flows through the shell side. The length of the brass tubes is 6.7 m and they have an outside diameter of 2.6 cm and an inside diameter of 2.3 cm. The heat transfer coefficient of the water and air are 470 W/(m2 K) and 210 W/(m2 K), respectively. The air enters the shell at a temperature of 15°C and a flow rate of 16 kg/s. The temperature of the water as it enters the tubes is 75°C. Calculate (a) the heat exchanger effectiveness, (b) the heat transfer rate to the air, and (c) the outlet temperature of the air and water.
