A two-shell-eight-pass heat exchanger is used to recoup heat from coolant water in a manufacturing plant. The heat exchanger has a rated area of 15 m^2 with an overall heat transfer coefficient of 900 W/m^2?K. The device has been used and has a fouling factor of 0.0001 m2?K/W. The coolant water enters at 85ºC and leaves at 55ºC whereas the cooling water enters at 15ºC and leaves at 45ºC. Determine (a) the mass flow of the coolant water and (b) the heat exchanger effectiveness.

What will be an ideal response?
