Hot water is used to heat air in a double pipe heat exchanger as shown in the following sketch. If the heat transfer coefficients on the water side and on the air side are 550 W/(m2K) and 55 W/(m2 K), respectively, calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outer diameter. The heat exchanger pipe is 5 cm, schedule 40 steel (k = 54 W/m K), with water inside.

GIVEN
• A double pipe heat exchanger with water in inner tube and air in the annulus
• Heat transfer coefficients
? Water side ih = 550 W/(m2 K)
? Air side oh = 55 W/(m2 K)
• Inner pipe: 5 cm, schedule 40 steel
• Pipe thermal conductivity (k) = 54 W/(m K)
FIND
• The overall heat transfer coefficient based on the outer diameter (Uo). ASSUMPTIONS
• Uniform heat transfer coefficients
