A two shell, eight tube pass STHE is to heat mineral oil from -5°C to 40°C using water with an inlet temperature of 80°C. The mass flow rates of the water and the oil are 10 kg.s¹ and 35 kg.s¹ respectively. The Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient of the heat exchanger is 285 W.m2. If the diameter of the tubes is 30 mm, determine the total length of tube required in the heat exchanger.

A two shell, eight tube pass STHE is to heat mineral oil from -5°C to 40°C using water
with an inlet temperature of 80°C. The mass flow rates of the water and the oil are
10 kg.s¹ and 35 kg.s¹ respectively. The Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient of the heat
exchanger is 285 W.m²2. If the diameter of the tubes is 30 mm, determine the total
length of tube required in the heat exchanger.
