- In a 1-1 pass floating head type shell and tube heat exchanger, the tubes (od = 25 mm; id = 21 mm) are arranged in a square pitch. The tube pitch is 32 mm. The thermal conductivity of the shell side fluid is 0.19 W/m.K, and the Nusselt number is 200. The shell-side heat transfer coefficient (in W/m2. K), rounded off to the nearest integer, is

A counter-current extraction column is designed to remove 99% of solute C from a solution of solvent A and solute C using pure solvent B. The initial concentration of solute in the solution of A + C is 20 wt %, and the total flow of solution is 1000 kg/h. If the equilibrium relationship is Y = 2X , where Y = mass of C/mass of A and X = mass of C/mass of B.T he minimum flow rate of solvent B required (in kg/h) is
