From Figure 11.31,\theta_{A} = 215 – 60 = 155°F, and \theta_{B} = 125 – 90 = 35°F. Therefore,
(\Delta t)_{m}=\frac{\theta_{A}-\theta_{B}}{\ln \left(\theta_{A} / \theta_{B}\right)}=\frac{155-35}{\ln (155 / 35)}=80.6^{\circ} FBecause all other conditions are the same, \dot{Q} = 1836000 Btu/h.
1836000 = 40 × A × 80.6
Therefore, A = 569 ft .^{2} of the outside surface is required.
