Determine the total tube surface area


Solve the folloiwng problem:

Q: Exhaust gas from a furnace is used to preheat the combustion air supplied to the furnace burners. The gas, which has a flow rate of 15 kg/s and an inlet temperature of 1100 K, passes through a bundle of tubes, while the air, which has a flow rate of 10 kg/s and an inlet temperature of 300 K, is in cross flow over the tubes. The tubes are un-finned, and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 100 W/m2 · K. Determine the total tube surface area required to achieve an air outlet temperature of 850 K. The exhaust gas and the air may each be assumed to have a specific heat of 1075 J/kg · K.
