Example introduced a heat exchange system revamp problem. If the plate heat exchanger E101 in Figure 2.19 is the gasketed-plate type, then the exchanger area can be increased by adding plates to the exchanger. How much additional area must be added to E101 to allow the system to operate at 50% above base case flow rate with no changes in temperature of steam or cooling water feed temperatures and no modification to exchangers E102 and E103?
