question

Steam at 230°F in the shell side of a multi-pass regenerator is used to heat oil flowing at 550lbm/hr in 0.625 in OD steel pipes, 16-gage and 8 ft long. The oil is heated from 80 to 130°F. Assume that the thermal conductivity K and the specific heat C_P of the oil remains stable at 0.080 Btu/hr-ft-°F and 0.50 Btu/lbm-°F, respectively. The viscosity \mu of the oil will differ with an increase in temperature as shown in the table. Determine the required number of passes to effectively heat the oil.
