Hot water coming from the engine is to be cooled by ambient air in a car radiator. The aluminum tubes in which the water flows have a diameter of 4 cm and negligible thickness. Fins are attached on the outer surface of the tubes in order to increase the heat transfer surface area on the air side. The heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces are 2000 and 150 W/m2•ºC, respectively. If the effective surface area on the finned side is 12 times the inner surface area, the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat exchanger based on the inner surface area is
(a) 760 W/m2•ºC
(b) 832 W/m2•ºC
(c) 947 W/m2•ºC
(d) 1075 W/m2•ºC
(e) 1210 W/m2•ºC
