Water flowing at a rate of 12.6 kg/s is to be cooled from 90 to 65°C by means of an equal flow rate of cold water entering at 40°C. The water velocity with the such that the overall coefficient of heat transfer U is 2300 W/(m2 K). Calculate the heat-exchanger surface area (in square meters) needed for each of the following arrangements: (a) parallel flow, (b) counterflow, (c) a multi-pass heat exchanger with the hot water making one pass through a well-baffled shell and the cold water making two passes through the tubes, and (d) a crossflow heat exchanger with both sides unmixed.

GIVEN
• Warm water cooled by cold water in a heat exchanger
• Both flow rates ( m c) = 12.6 kg/s
