A heat exchanger that is used for cooling lubricating oil is comprised of a thin-walled inner tube of 30 mm diameter carrying water and an outer tube of 50 mm diameter carrying the oil. The exchanger  operates in counterflow mode with an overall heat transfer coefficient of 65 W/m2 K and the tabulated  average properties are given.   (a) If the outlet temperature of the oil is 60°C, determine the total heat transfer and the outlet  temperature of the water. (b) How long must the tube be made if the outlet temperature of the oil is 60°C? (c) Explain and discuss with the use of diagrams the difference between parallel and counter flow heat  exchangers? (d)If the heat exchanger is changed to a parallel flow heat exchanger, how long must the tube be made  if the outlet temperature of the oil is 60°C?

Task 2
A heat exchanger that is used for cooling lubricating oil is comprised of a thin-walled inner tube of 30
mm diameter carrying water and an outer tube of 50 mm diameter carrying the oil. The exchanger 
operates in counterflow mode with an overall heat transfer coefficient of 65 W/m2 K and the tabulated 
average properties are given.

 

(a) If the outlet temperature of the oil is 60°C, determine the total heat transfer and the outlet 
temperature of the water.
(b) How long must the tube be made if the outlet temperature of the oil is 60°C?
(c) Explain and discuss with the use of diagrams the difference between parallel and counter flow heat 
exchangers?
(d)If the heat exchanger is changed to a parallel flow heat exchanger, how long must the tube be made 
if the outlet temperature of the oil is 60°C?
