Heat is transferred from one fluid to a second fluid across a metal wall. The film coefficients are 1.2 and 1.7kW m^-2 K^- 1. The metal is 6-mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of 19 W m^-1 K^-1. On one side of the wall there is a scale deposit with a fouling factor estimated at 19 W m^-1 K^-1. What is the overall heat-transfer coefficient?
