A chemical engineering student is designing a prototype for a double-pass shell

and tube heat exchanger to be used in heating benzene for a reactor and with
saturated steam used as a heating fluid. The heat exchanger is composed of 52
smaller tubes enclosed in a shell casing (tube layout below):

The student wants to determine the length of the tubes to be used. Using the heat
exchanger specifications below, can you help him out?

Exchanger specifications: 52 tubes total; 1” BWG 16 copper tubes (OD=1”,

ID=0.87”)
 Tube-side fluid: Benzene entering at 25°C leaving at 120°C, at a rate of
25,000 kg/hr (0.3829 cP, 835.9 kg/m³, 1.17 kJ/kg-K, 0.1705 W/m-K)
 Shell-side fluid: Steam condensing at 270.1 kPa and the outer surface has
an average temperature of 100°C (Use Tsat for required heat and area
calculations)

Note: Use SVA for saturated steam properties 
