Design a heat exchanger for a chemical process that requires heating of 50 kg/hr of water from 25°C to 80°C using steam as the heating medium. The available steam is at a pressure of 1.5 MPa and a temperature of 300°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient between the water and the steam is 600 W/m2K. The heat exchanger should be designed to accommodate a temperature drop of 5°C for both the water and the steam. Determine the required surface area of the heat exchanger and the mass flow rate of steam required to meet the process requirements.

Design a heat exchanger for a specific process that involves heating a liquid from 20°C to 60°C. The liquid has a flow rate of 500 L/hr, and it will be heated by steam at a pressure of 3 bar. The heat transfer coefficient for the steam is 3000 W/(m²·K), and the overall heat transfer coefficient for the heat exchanger is 500 W/(m²·K). Determine the surface area required for the heat exchanger and the flow rate of steam required to heat the liquid.

Design a counter-current heat exchanger to cool 10,000 liters per hour of cyclohexane at 110°C down to 50°C, while heating 7,500 liters per hour of water at 25°C up to 80°C. The cyclohexane will be cooled by water which enters the heat exchanger at 90°C and exits at 60°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient is expected to be 1,000 W/m2K. Determine the required heat transfer area and the pressure drop across the heat exchanger.
