Convective heat transfer coefficients for Fluid 1 and Fluid 2 in a heat exchanger, as shown in the figure below, are 50 W/(m2K) and 80 W/(m2K), respectively. The inner tube is made of a material which has a thermal conductivity 386 W/(mK) for the given range of temperatures in the heat exchanger. The length of the heat exchanging surface, the inside radius of the inner tube, and thickness of the inner tube are 1 m, 10 mm, and 1 mm, respectively. Considering no heat exchange between the outer tube and the surrounding, the heat transfer rate for the heat exchanger is ________ W (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
