    A counter-flow double pipe heat exchanger using superheated steam is used to heat water at the rate of 10500kg/h. The stem enters the heat exchanger at 180°C and leaves at 130°C. The inlet and exit temperatures of water are 30°C and 80°C respectively. If Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient from steam to water are 30°C and 80°C respectively. If over- all heat transfer coefficient from steam to water is 814W/m 2 °C, Calculate the heat transfer area. What would be the increase in area if the fluid flows were parallel? 
