Heat is to be transferred from one process stream to another by means of a double pipe heat exchanger. The hot fluid flows in a 1 in. sch 40 tube, which is inside (concentric with) a 2 in. sch 40 tube, with the cold fluid flowing in the annulus between the tubes. If both fluids are to flow at a velocity of 8 ft/s and the total equivalent length of the tubes is 1300 ft, what pump power is required to circulate the colder fluid? Properties at average temperature: ¼ 55 lbm=f t3 , ¼ 8 cP.
