Question 61
BTNAT2 marksNeeds review
A hot, freshly-sterilised fermentation medium is cooled in a double-pipe heat-exchanger. The medium enters the inner pipe of the exchanger at 95 °C and leaves the exchanger at 40 °C. Cooling water, flowing counter-currently to the medium, enters the annulus of the exchanger at 15 °C and leaves the exchanger at 45 °C. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 1350 W m
°C
. The rate of heat transfer per unit area will be ______ W/m².(Round off to the nearest integer)
