7.4 The objective of this problem is to design an oil cooler with sea water. The decision was made to use a hairpin heat exchanger. Length of hairpin =3m Annulus nominal diameter =2 in. Nominal diameter of inner tube (schedule 40 ) =3/4 in . Fin height, H=0.00127m Fin thickness, δ=0.9mm Number of fins/tubes =18 Material throughout = carbon steel Thermal conductivity, k=52W/m⋅K Number of tubes inside annulus =3 Select the proper fouling factors. Calculate the following: a. The velocities in the tube and in the annulus b. The overall heat transfer coefficient for a clean and fouled heat exchanger
