2.5m long, 10 mm internal diameter tubes required in a shell and tube heat exchanger to increase the temperature of the 3.46kg/s of a process liquid from 20 degree celcius to 80 degree celcius. Condensing steam at 120 degree celcius is the heat transfer medium. Assume that the mean density and specific heat capacity of the process liquid are 1180kg/meter cube and 2350J/kgK, and that the mean overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inside area of the tubes is 950 W/squere meter K, calculate number of tubes_______________
