Figure P9.34 shows a crossfl ow heat exchanger marketed as a mobile oil cooler. Data provided by the manufacturer for one particular model is as follows:
Oil (assume unused engine oil) fl ow rate is 10 gpm.
Air inlet velocity is 1 000 ft /min.
Air inlet area is 15 × 16 in.
Air inlet temperature is 70°F.
Oil inlet temperature is 170°F.
Measured heat-transfer rate is 380 BTU/min.
a. Determine the UA product for this exchanger.
b. Calculate the fl uid outlet temperatures.
Evaluate oil properties at 140°F and air properties at 540°R.
