Question
A heat exchanger to preheat oil for a furnace was designed without considering the possibility of scale formation, and the overall heat transfer coefficient based on the fuel oil side was 3200 k J/m² hr degree. What would be the corrected coefficient of heat transfer if a fouling factor of 0.00025 m² hr degree/k J for the fuel oil is taken into account?
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a).1777.78 k J/m² hr degree
