Hot water (Cp= 4.188 kJ/kg.K) with mass flow rate of 2.5 kg/s at 100 C enters a thin-walled concentric tube counterflow heat exchanger with a surface area of 23 m^2 and an overall heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W/m^2.K. Cold water (Cp= 4.178 kJ/kg.K) with mass flow rate of 5 kg/s enters the heat exchanger at 20 C. (A) Use the Effectiveness-_NTU method, determine the heat transfer rate for the heat exchanger. (B) Determine the outlet temperatures of the cold and hot fluids. (C) After a period of operation, the overall heat transfer coefficient is reduced to 500 W/m^2.K. determine the fouling factor that caused the reduction in the overall heat transfer coefficient.

Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
