Flow of Fluids

Aniline is cooled from 200 to 150°F using toluene in a countercurrent heat exchanger. Given flow rates and temperatures of aniline (10,000 lb/h at 200°F inlet) and toluene (8600 lb/h at 100°F inlet), the toluene outlet temperature is calculated as 37.73°F, the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) is calculated as 37.73°F, and the overall heat transfer coefficient is calculated as 103.17 BTU/h-ft2-°F.
