In a counter-flow double pipe heat exchanger, oil (m=2 kg/s Cp=2.1 kJ/kg.°C) is cooled from 90°C to 40°C by water (m=1 kg/s, Cp=4.2 kJ/kg.°C) which enters the inner tube at 10°C. The radius of the inner tube is 3 cm and its length is 5 m. Neglecting the wall resistance, the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner radius, in kW/m2.K is
A
0.743
B
7.43
C
74.3
D
2475

Correct : b
