A 1-pass, 1-pass plate heat exchanger with chevron plates is being used to cool hot water with cold water on the other fluid side. The following information is provided for the geometry and operating conditions: number of flow passages is 24 on the hot water side, plate width 0.5 m, plate height 1.1 m, port diameter 0.1 m, channel spacing 0.0035 m, equivalent diameter De = 0.007 m, hot water flow rate 18 kg/s, mean dynamic viscosity 0.00081 Pa s and mean density 995.4 kg/m3 for both manifolds and core. The hot water is flowing vertically upward in the exchanger. The friction factor for the plates is given by f = 0.8 Re-0.25, where Re = G De/  is the Reynolds number. Compute the pressure drop on the hot water side.
