 Experiment 6: Simulation of double pipe heat exchanger (UNISIM)
a) Benzene is cooled from 141 to 79 in the pipe of a double-pipe exchanger.
Cooling water flows counter currently to the benzene, entering the jacket at 65
and leaving at 75 . The exchanger consists of an inner pipe of in.BWG 16
copper tubing jacketed with 1 in.Schedule 40 steel pipe. The linear velocity of
the benzene is 5 . Neglecting the resistance of the wall and scale films and
assuming >150 for both pipes. Compute the film coefficients of the benzene and
water and the overall coefficients based on outside area of the inner pipe by
