Q1. Hot oil is to be cooled by water in a 1-shell-pass and 8-tube-passes heat exchanger. The 4+3+3 (CLO2, C-3)
tubes are thin-walled and are made of copper with an internal diameter of 1.4 cm. The length of
each tube pass in the heat exchanger is 5 m, and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 310 W/m2 Student’s assignment:
· °C. Water flows through the tubes at a rate of 0.2 kg/s, and the oil through the shell at a rate of
0.3 kg/s. The water and the oil enter at temperatures of 20°C and 150°C, respectively. Solve for Abdul Muqeet
the rate of heat transfer in the heat exchanger and the outlet temperatures of the water and the Malik Salal
oil. Rabia Waheed

Q2. Water (Cp _ 4180 J/kg · °C) enters the 2.5-cm internal-diameter tube of a double- Malika Khan
pipe counter-flow heat exchanger at 17°C at a rate of 3 kg/s. It is heated by steam Fatima Saleem
condensing at 120°C (hfg _ 2203 kJ/kg) in the shell. If the overall heat transfer coefficient Tehreem Sajid
of the heat exchanger is 1500 W/m2 · °C, solve for the length of the tube required in Anas Attiq
