In current service, 20 kg s^-1 cooling water at 12⁰C must be circulated through a coil inside a fermenter to maintain the temperature at 37⁰C The coil is 150 m long with pipe diameter 12 cm; the exit water temperature is 28⁰C After the inner and outer surfaces of the coil are cleaned it is found that only 13 kg s^-1 cooling water is required to control the fermentation temperature. Calculate the overall heat-transfer coefficient before cleaning. What fraction of the total resistance to heat transfer before cleaning was due to fouling deposits?____________
