(40 pts) Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger to make Jell-O Cups A counter-current shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to heat Jell-O solution (water + gelatin) using saturated steam on the shell side. Jell-O solution must be heated to at least 80 oC, poured into individual plastic cups, and then cooled to make the solid Jell-O cups. The Jell-O solution is heated with steam that enters the shell at 2.0 bar (Tsteam = 120oC) and exits as a saturated liquid. At this temperature...
