In a double pipe heat exchanger handling a hot fluid from 95 °C to 85 °C with help of cold fluid flowing counter currently from 40 °C to 60 °C. Overall dirt coefficient is 450 W/m °C. Flow rate of cold fluid is 2 kg/s with specific heat value of 2562 J/kg K. Internal surface area per unit meter length of pipe is 0.1326 m-/m length of pipe. Determine the number of hairpins for this heat exchanger ( round off to the nearest whole number).
