There is one reactor of 25kl capacity. This reactor is filled with a fluid 22m3. Specific heat of liquid is 1.2kcal/kg.

I. First heat from 40 C to 110 C in 30 minutes

II. Hold it for 2 hrs at 110 C

III. Cool from 110 C to 60 C in 1 hour.

Calculate I. Surface area required for heating & Cooling II. Size & pitch of Limpet coil
