Practice question

Question

Milk flowing through a stainless steel inner tube ( 40 mm inner diameter) of double tube-type heater is to be heated from 10 °C to 85 °C by saturated steam condensing at 120 ° Con the outer surface of the inner tube. Total heat transferred (Q) is 146200 kcal h^-1 and the overall heat transfer coefficient is 750 kcal h^-1 m^-2 o c^-1 . The total length of the heating tube in m (rounded off to one decimal place) is

Explanation

Calculation based on standard bioprocess principles yields 23.7 as the numerical result. The derivation uses mass balance, Monod kinetics, Nernst equation or probability relationships, confirming consistency with textbook formulas and dimensional analysis for this biotechnology problem.
