It is desired to cool an organic liquid from 65oC to 40oC using water as cooling medium. The organic liquid shall enter 5m/s and at the average temperature its properties are: density = 810 kg/m3, viscosity = 1 cp, specific heat = 2.1 KJ/kg-K and thermal conductivity = 0.14 W/m-K. The cooling water shall enter at 28oC and leave at 35oC. Suppose a double pipe heat exchanger composed of 1 inch and 2 inch sch 40 Steel pipes are used. Determine the length of the exchanger needed (m) for (a) counter-current flow (b) co-current flow.
