Hot oil at 150°C is used to preheat a cold fluid at 30°C in a 1-1 shell and tube heat exchanger. The exit temperature of the hot oil is 110°C. Heat capacities (product of mass flow rate and specific heat capacity) of both the streams are equal. The heat duty is 2 kW.
Under counter-current flow conditions. the overall heat transfer resistance (1/UA) is
Under counter-current flow conditions. the overall heat transfer resistance (1/UA) is
